It really gives you a sense of what camp life must have been like. The best I can remember was the houley at Borderlands. It made many of us wipe a tear from our cheeks and it really brought an amazing sense of reality to the whole atmoshpere. It was the culmination of what the war was all about. Our singing also lets everyone come together and get to know each other.
Music brings about a sense of closeness among everyone.
I almost go to the events just to sing at night around the fire. The 27th Connecticut's Officer List.
