Tune heard as a theme throughout the film and also used as the music for the song heard at the start and end of the film
As I'm typing this, I'm watching it again on the history network and it's interesting to see the people in it and think about their careers over the last 36 year.
A young James Caan wearing a silly looking "wig" - a very fresh faced Jan Michael Vincent before he descended into the bottle and is now just a shadow of himself - Don Stroud, a great bad guy in a couple of Clint Eastwood and a fellow named Michael Burns who was a big star back then but just seemed to drop off the face of the earth shortly after
It was a good story about 7 young guys heading off to fight in the Civil War. A great song and good story - maybe not a classic but very watchable..!!
