Can anybody direct me to someplace (preferably online) where I can find =
what music was played at military funerals?  I am interested in finding =
out if everything was somber (ala muffled drums), or had aspects of the =
later 'New Orleans Style' where things were pretty staid going out, but =
broke into swing coming back.  Of course the heart of the question is =
"Did they play 'Bonnie Blue Flag' or 'Dixie' at any point?" :))
