American songwriters composed many songs about the War, giving their own impressions (some spot-on, others more romantic or melodramatic) of the soldiers’ lives; Mr. Spencer will sing and play the guitar and banjo to give his audience the same images of the War as if they had lived during that time. As a special addition, the concert will also include readings from letters of Simsbury Civil War soldiers.
Sunday, November 6 at 2:00 p.m. at the Ellsworth Visitor’s Center (10 Phelps Lane) $7 members, $10 non-members; reservations requested – please call 860-658-2500 or email programs@simsburyhistory.org for more info.
