Several times a year you'll find Bob at the battlefield giving outstanding demonstrations of Civil War field drumming.
Click HERE for a short Youtube of Bob in action.
Get in step and follow the drums, to just north of Sharpsburg!

Mannie,
thanks for the blog on Bob Murphy. We first heard the Wildcat Regiment band at Chautauqua Institution several years ago and barely knew Bob. Now he has become a good friend and it is great to see this feature on him. We were just settling in by the Dunker Church last year when we had to break away for a presentation. Sadly, we missed the rest of the music. Nice touch here.
