[Trombone-l] North & South - Backward Horns?--still another book

[George Butler]

Hi Jim, Hi Ray,
 
Well, I opened up Amazon this morning to start research on a different topic, and Amazon tells me about still another book that I missed yesterday.  (It's nice, having software that's smarter than I am, that tells me what I need to buy.)  Again, I haven't seen it, but it sounds promising:
 
Bruce C. Kelley and Mark A. Snell.  Bugle Resounding:  Music and Musicians of the Civil War Era.  University of Missouri Press, 2004.
 
There is a book review by a Paul F. Wells in the Journal of Southern History; the review is available as a digital download for $5.95.
 
If you're really interested in the topic, get a good music librarian to help you.  (Finding a good one is REALLY worth the effort.)
