Carl Peterson: Scotland Remembers the Alamo

	Now's the Day and Now's the Hour
	"Scotsman the world over need to know that Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott had a big presence at the Alamo. The very title of the book, Now's the Day and Now's the Hour, is ripped from the pages of Scots Wha Ha'e, one of Burns' greatest poems. Carl Peterson has written a marvelous and masterful book about these brave American adventurers." Frank R. Shaw, FSA Scot, The Family Tree "The author has a unique knowledge of history, music in general and in particular the great melodies of Bonnie Scotland. That combination makes the work a must read whether you are interested in the Alamo alone or in the contributions of the roots of Scottish music as they reach beyond Caledonia." Bob Murdoch, FSA National Chairman Tartan Day

	With piper John MacGregor and fiddler Davy Crockett the men at the Alamo were often entertained by the songs brought to the New World from Scotland and Ireland. These songs were then used as tunes for ballads and stories written about the Alamo and the Texas revolution. Carl Peterson now presents these songs, many for the first time, in an incredible double CD collection. (Nearly two hours of music!) The first CD contains songs written about the Alamo and the Texas Revolution, and also instrumental music on fiddle and bagpipe of songs that would have been current in the early 1800s, songs that perhaps the men of the Alamo would have been familiar with. The second CD continues this theme, but also includes the original versions of the songs whose tunes were used to write the songs about the Alamo and Texas. Complete song list is below.
