Homeskoolin’ Bonus, “George F. Root”

Chapters
00:00 - Nice beautiful, slow version of song


Notes
A little Homeskoolin style adaptation of “Battle Cry Of Freedom”….or “Rally Round The Flag”…a song that actually was used by BOTH sides during the Civil War at various times….as a songwriter, that’s when you know you got a hit right there.
I learned of this song as a wee lad through a couple heroes of mine...Tom Britt and Ry Cooder.

Disclaimer…this video is intended for amusement only…i COMPLETELY understand that any gear comparison demo done with an iphone microphone is a ridiculous waste of time….no user serviceable parts inside….if swallowed, get medical help immediately or contact a poison control center…objects in the rear view may be larger than they appear.

Unrelated….just WAIT until you guys see how cool the two new Plexi Soul shirts are that our resident genius Ryan Conover designed….Ryan is responsible for all the previous HS t shirt designs (except the very first one which was designed by my dear friend Eric Crilli)….i think you guys are gonna dig it the most
