Fife and Drum

Man, this is something pretty amazing that I missed when I lived in Mississippi briefly in 1991-1992.  I heard fife and drum every 4th of July growing up in a New England town with a strong sense of its colonial heritage.  It didn't sound like this.  This amazing film produced by Bill Ferris, Judy Peiser, David Evans in 1972 and distributed by the Center for Southern Folklore is available in its entirety on folkstreams.net.
