Great to hear that you will be in Fredericksburg next weekend. See you then.

Then again, I believe at least the lead singer, Johnny Reb, is from Maryland. So perhaps the Rebettes represent the angst and confusion of that divided state.

I watched an episode of HBO's "Deadwood" the other night in which the appropriately named Al Swearingen, when asked who he was with in the war, replied "C********r Brigade, in command of the famous all-w***e detachment." And I thought he was just being a smart ass as usual... [Side note to Kevin. This may not make the cut for publishing, due to the vocabulary employed, but it was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the post. I laughed to myself, thought "So Al wasn't lying!", and had to share it with you.] Wow!

Hmm, I wonder what branch of the service that might represent. All of them have "cat guts" on their sleeves too, but no officer rank on the collars. May be those gals from smoky row in Nashville, but then, from what I remember, the smoky row gals provided horizontal entertainment for the boys in blue. Darn, I'm stumped! Sort of reminds me of those robogals in Austin Powers. Well, let’s see, the piping on that one jacket looks pink. Hmm, I wonder what branch of the service that might represent.
