I’m glad to see you guys still appreciate our history by doing these great older songs and still using the rebel flag as a symbol of southern pride, long live the south!
This song even reached England in the days of the 60s folk revival. Some friends and I sang it as a young band in a school folk concert (organised by a visionary music teacher). Pete Seeger was very popular amongst those developing an interest in folk music, so it probably came from his singing. I'm still playing fiddle, and might even have a go at learning the words for old time's sake. Thanks for your lovely version.
Sorry to hear you are retired- but much deserved. I always wanted the chance to see you boys play live but somehow always missed y'all. I hope you realize all the joy you brought to others through sharing the gift of your music- both in person as well as 'virtually'. All the very best to each one of you!
Ironically, my country was on the side of the USA in Civil War... But the time has changed. Now we support South! He shall rise again! And your music is always a pleasure to my ears, thank you!
Way back in 1989, when I was 10 years old, my 5th Grade Teacher Mrs. Lakes used to sing this song to the class and then had us learn the words and sing it along with her. She played it on acoustic Guitar. I've always remembered it.
Very cool !! Back in '89, when I was 47 and the band just beginning, it was one of the first songs we all knew... 5th grade was when I first learned about the Civil War and decided I would be a Rebel.
Glad to hear a bones player, was my instrument back in the 80. I made a bunch and gave them away, Always loved it when Joe Ayers was at a event playing a night.We had a good camp band in the 11th Nct.
Not only do I enjoy eating goober peas (had some good boiled ones this morning), this song brings back memories of singing it with my friends when we were boys.
Thanks for posting this! Soldiers of all armies liked to razz civillians and Confederate soldiers were no exception. A boy, about 12 years old, was leading a mule along a line of resting rebels. He had a very tight grip on the rope. "HEY,BOY!" taunted one soldier. "You sure do have a tight grip on your brother there. Are you afraid he might get lost?" Loud laughter came from the resting soldiers. "No",replied the boy. "I'm afraid he might run off and join the army. Complete silence from the resting rebels. From the booklet,Rebel Humor.
@@culturalliberator9425 no it’s to arm you for how these rhyming cycles will play out. If you know history you have a chance to protect you and your loved ones from bad future outcomes. There is little that hasn’t happened already in the past.
@@christopherk140 I agree. But history is not black and white, (Recent history at least) it's a war of virtues, good men killing each other, forced to do so when their ideals clash.
Love the period bits and pieces here and there among the audience. Kid wearing a confederate hat. Woman walking past in a civil war era skirt. Man with a tea cup. etc
Happy 4th, Neighbors and I learned all the good old songs in grade school a long time ago BUT this is the 1st time I've heard Goober Peas in ages, maybe since them days. Hope all are wobbling because all the kicking days are long gone but I'll settle for a good wobble now and then. The kids knew the song better than I did but I think I got the chorus pretty good. God Bless All Yall and thanks from barely across the line!
Great job as always. Also, would you guys wanna come to the Prairie Grove reenactment this year on december 1st? It's a smaller reenactment so I don't know if you guys would do it but me and my friends would love to see ya'll there.
And thank YOU very much! Those two little goomers are hgelping to keep the South alive. Hope all is well from the soggy hills across the line a little ways north, but not THAT far north!!
I love the kids having fun singing along! And to think I didn’t know Ernest T. Bass was talking about a real song when he said he could play Goober Peas on the gas can!
I learned this song in grade school music class back in the late fifties. Don't think I'd heard it since then until now. Btw I'd love to know where y'all get your hats -- esp the banjoist's straw topper!
Dirty Billy's Hats in Gettysburg. Be prepared... They ain't inexpensive - especially the straw topper. The one I'm wearing did NOT come from Billy, however, and I've never been able to find another.
@@patrickdaly5068 It has long been my view that it is the HAT that nails down the impression. Nothing can ruin your impression quicker than a cheap, crappy hat. Same goes for westerns. 'Tombstone', 'Lonesome Dove', and above all, '1883' by Paramount+ set the bar for period authenticity when it comes to Hollywood wardrobes.
Wonderfull song Can almost se jeb Stuart riding in to your camp, and opening the Ball with All the southern belles, thanks you great People semper fi always faithful, from tom your friend
@@-jank-willson I find history fascinating and the US civil war is no different. History is always written by the winner, where reality and the justification of their cause is often heavily misleading
@@sl_721 Yeah, like there were abolitionists that sided with the confederacy, and tried to end slavery from within the confederate government. (although they admittedly didn't get very far lol). There was also a black slave who had bought himself out of slavery just a few years before the outbreak of the civil war, and was employed and paid a small fortune by the confederate army to build bridges to transport troops. And many (free) black men fought as soldiers for the confederate army. But all that info is brushed under the rug.
@@-jank-willson let’s not forget that Abraham Lincoln was not vehemently opposed to slavery. He admitted that as long he kept the union together, he didn’t care if slavery remained legal. The war wasn’t based on slavery, but the want for local governance and fair taxation and other economic issues
@@sl_721 only the top 1% of the confederate/southern elite gave a damm about slavery. The common people only cared about the other issues you mentioned. Many common folk had never even seen a dark-skinned individual before because all the slaves were kept behind fences at plantations...
Hey I was interested I joining the 2nd as I am currently learning percussion and I love history anywhere from the 1820s-1950s I am middle school age white male in sc altough I may not be able to travel alot I will still be a good member Edit also this is going on my playlist

Sadly, no. Except for 2 of us, we're well into our 70's (me, almost 80), so that's a thing; we're scattered all over the eastern seaboard, and then there's also family considerations. It was a great ride while it lasted. Thanks for the kind inquiry. We miss it !

@@jbnnm657 Thanks a lot for that, JB ! Hearing from combat vets like yourself has always meant the world to me personally and to the band at large. After our show in Gettysburg in 2018 (our next-to-last), I was called over to talk to a Yankee artillery officer, who told me how our music was a major factor in getting him thru the nightmare of Fallujah. I mean, wow. We truly regret that the combination of ageing, pc-issues, and covid ultimately spelled the end of a 30+ year run, but there it is. You can't outrun Old Father Time. It was great while it lasted, and it now shows every sign of lasting much, much longer than any of us ever dreamed. We have been well and truly blessed. Blessed to have known each other and made some really excellent music together. Blessed to have had the kind of fans and support of folks like yourself, who have made it all real. Sorry we can't be there for you, JB. Truly. But hopefully, you'll 'stay tuned'. We still have some material to share in the days, weeks, months, and - God willing - years to come. Be well and God bless !
