TERRIFIC!!!!! Since Gen. John C Breckinridge was THE Confederate General in
that neck of the woods, why don't you send an EMail to Col. John Brodie at
VMI and ask if the Cabell-Breckinridge Brass Band can come down and help
kick off the festivities. I can't clutter up the web with a photo, so I'll
just say that they are armed with reproduction over-the-shoulder saxhorns
just like the original Stonewall Brigade Band had, and the play music of
that era.
