A buddy surprised me with a new CD recently. The subject title is a new (March 2009) music album recording (on CD as well as internet downloads) produced by Andy Redmond and Brant Schroeder. The music is basically tunes for brass, pipes & drums, and fifes & drums from the Civil War era, including older traditional pipe band tunes. The main performers are Caywood Jones on pipes and fife, Andy Redmond on various percussion instruments, and Robert Philbin on horns. There are 7 other contributing musicians, including Laray Collins on vocals.

There are a total of 30 tunes, a full list of which is provided at the CD production website under the link "Music Notes":

I spent the afternoon listening to this CD and was most pleased with it.
