Hello pals! Welcome to week 177 of #lexieschain. Welcome back pals. Mum all okies enuff to elp me wiv computa! So last time was Wyn and Freddie joint winners. So lets see wot we gots dis week:2 winners! Well Done Freddie and Wyn! I have chosen to link with The Civil War's "Barton Hollow". Their contemporary bluegrass reminded me of the movie, "Oh Brother Where Art Thou?" and The Soggy Bottom Boys. One member of the "band" was Tommy Johnson who had sold his soul to the devil. Barton Hollow spoke of strife, and my pick of the week does the same, "Man of Constant Sorrow".

Ohh 2 winners! Well done Freddie & Wyn. So looking at both songs .. we see the Civil War & bells. On December 25, 1864 upon hearing of his sons enlistment in the Union Army, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote Christmas Bells in which he expressed his anguish over the hate tearing the nation apart. In 1872 it was set to music by John Baptiste Calken and is known today as " I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day" . The poem is 7 stanzas long but most renditions remove two verses that directly address the Civil War.

Tubular Bell by Mike Oldfield is a lovely tune and my choice for this link is another Mike Oldfield piece Moonlight Shaddow.
