As in recent years’ programming, our focus is on the Civil War, the deadliest conflict in America's history (over 500,000 died), out of which the Memorial Day holiday, first known as Decoration Day, originated. There is such a large body of historical and contemporary song that evolves around the Civil War and it's worth presenting. Listener reaction the past three years to a Civil War-based show certainly affirms that notion.
