The next time those of you who live in NYC tun on your water spigot, know how pristine this fluid is.
Where is the sad "fiddle" lament and farewell?
For those of you who don't know: "Ashokan Farewell" is a slow sad "lament" done by "fiddle" that became the theme and background for much of Ken Burns' mini series on the Civil War. It is one of those things that stick in your mind forever after. 34+ years of teaching history and after watching that series pictures of the Civil War always bring up that sad, weeping music in the background of my mind.
