Air of Gettysburg: Another one from Angels Turned Thieves. I copped many of the lyrics from Gary Wills wonderful book Lincoln at Gettysburg. This song was paired at No 2 Unalike with Peter Case's wonderful song Wilderness from his Torn Again lp. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8yWAqRuk8o Wilderness -- along with Dave Alvin's Andersonville from the Blue Boulevard album -- has got to be one of the best songs every written about the Civil War. I was fascinated by the fractured tone Peter achieved by putting airplanes in his tale. They sorta ping-ponged the plot forward to Vietnam and then back again. I tried to do the same thing by inserting long distance calls in my song. This one's for the late great guitarist Richard Drueding who joined Mitch Tabas and me to play Gettysburg and Wilderness on Night Five of No Two Unalike. - JH
