Thank you so much for Jine the Calvary. And it had the Joe Hooker verse that Stuart made up when he took over that II Corps at Chancellorsville. That made my day!

A.P. Hill laughing told Stuart and he and Sweeney were banned from visiting the Light Division because after Stuart left all his soldiers wanted to Jine the Cavalry.

I had the music and the words, but not together. I have put it in my favorites, so I can listen to it frequently. Thanks again!

'Twas a pleasure. And, btw, you DO have the music of Lutzow's Wild Hunt in your collection, I hope?

Though horse cav has pretty well faded from the scene, Great Britain's Gurkhas have adopted the tune as their regimental standard, and as helicopter-borne troops, they also continue the tradition of *getting there firstest with the mostest* that America's horse soldiers once set.
