Bob Welch Sings "Songs of the Civil War on the porch of the Randleman House

With these songs one can feel the “spirit of the Civil War” and an amazing connection Bob Welch has with the Civil War. If reincarnation is a fact, then Welch experienced all of the war, for his songs are filled with a reality of the times.” Ken Allers Jr. Author of “The History Buffs Guide to Gettysburg” and “The Fog of Gettysburg: The Myths and Mysteries of the Battle.

If you attend a Civil War reenactment event and see a tall fellow, slouch hat shading his eyes, with baggy pants and suspenders, toting a guitar and banjo, chances are you've run into Bob Welch. Bob performs songs of the Civil War period, singing and accompanying himself on guitar and banjo.Bob combines storytelling and history with the music. The songs of the 1860's literally bring history to musical life.

Bob and his original song, "The Ballad of Jennie Wade" were honored in the "Song of the Year" songwriting competition and featured in the national magazine, "The Gettysburg Companion." Three hurrays for American Trust and Savings Bank of Dubuque, sponsors of the "Songs of the Civil War" programs in Tri-State area schools.
