Sing-a-long History With Lloyd H. Miller

Lloyd H. Miller plays his studio tracks, tells stories about them, plays other related songs live, and just generally goes deep, exploring the background of the tunes he sings.  On this first episode, he focuses on the Civil War soldier songs that appear on Sing-a-long History Vol I: Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! This album is the first volume of the Sing-a-long History series, a collection of albums that use music to teach kids about history. It's an intro to the Civil War, abolitionism, and the Underground Railroad for kids. The other volumes of the series will explore a variety of other historical topics.  This podcast is like sitting in a room with Lloyd listening to the album. He'll play a track, talk about it, pull out his guitar and sing a related song that comes to mind, play another track, talk about his inspiration for writing it...  Studio tracks on this podcast: John Brown, Tenting on the Old Campground, Marching Through Georgia Live tracks on this podcast: John Brown's Body (excerpt), Battle Hymn of
