185 years ago, Congress passed the Indian Removal Act, to facilitate the confiscation of Native American territories. This forced relocation became known as the Trail Of Tears. A friend of ours' great-grandfather was on the Trail. This is dedicated to him, and to the Cherokee Nation. All BIAB. https://90dbband.bandcamp.com/track/trail-of-tears Trail Of Tears ©2015 Robert Randall Burke Long ago and far away I have heard the old folks say Was a dark and bitter day That echoes through the years Ol' Hickory swore to clear the land Of every single Indian band So he sent them down The Trail Of Tears. All the Creek and Cherokee Seminole and Muskogee Choctaw and Chickasaw Driven from their land Osceola stood his ground They could never run him down Till his flag of truce Lay in the sand. A thousand miles of dust and pain You'll never see your home again This is the sum of all your fears Nations that were proud and free Broken On the Trail Of Tears. The white man called them “Civilized” Sold them on a pack of lies White man's smile, a thin disguise After all these years Take your children by the hand And make them understand So they'll remember The Trail Of Tears. Regards, Bob

I always enjoy your songs. I've also always been particularly interested in Osceola because after he was captured he was imprisoned in my hometown of Charleston, SC and died there is 1837 and buried with military honors.
This is a good song and I enjoyed my listen.

A very good song about a shameful act in American history. Interesting arrangement and excellent production. Well done!

Bob,
What a haunting song about a dark period of history.
I want to write about the vocals and the production BUT the story makes that impossible, suffice it to say I sat in silence for a few minutes after the 1st listen, shaking my head.
Thanks for the song, so sad yet so beautiful.
I never specifically knew of the Trail of Tears but read "Bury my heart at Wounded knee" many times when younger.
Alyn

Charlie Hey Charlie, Thanks for the kind words. I've always been fascinated by Osceola. He was the only chief who was never defeated. Regards, Bob

Excellent write, Robert. Tight. Nice production - allows that vocal (and lyric) to shine. The mandolin is nice. A super listen. Cool ending (I don't recognize that last RT  ) "this is the sum of all you fears" < nice! floyd

A powerful song. Amazing production.
The finale was certainly surprising, and very effective.

Good work Bob.
What was done to the native Indians in the name of manifest destiny is a shame. If you haven't already, get a copy of Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee. It will make you cry.
Your song reminded me of Seminole Wind by John Anderson as I was listening....
Enjoyed it.

WOW, this is absolutely fantastic!
Great vocal on this one and the backing tracks are perfect but the lyrics are some of the best ever written!
Super song!

And "Old Hickory" is still on the $20 bill. In a
reasonable world his mug would be replaced
with a Native American.
"The white man called them “Civilized”
Sold them on a pack of lies
White man's smile, a thin disguise
After all these years
Take your children by the hand
And make them understand
So they'll remember
The Trail Of Tears.'
That is historical poetry.
So many do not realize that many Cherokee were
farmers who owned land and their houses...and
they were literally torn away from it. Shameful,
indeed.
We love NA history so this is right in our wheelhouse
both historically and musically. The arrangement fits
the excellent vocal and lyric very effectively.
There's a ton of things to like about this.

See for yourself! Within the program, visit Options | Icon Set and choose from: Classic, Modern 1, or Modern 2.
Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows - Choosing to Run 64-bit or 32-bit
We heard you! With the release of Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows we've included the BRAND NEW 64-bit version of Band-in-a-Box®, which works well with the latest plugins and 64-bit OS features! Because not everyone has a 64-bit computer, we include both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions with your purchase - you choose which one to use!

The steps to run the 64-bit version are simple! Just head to your "bb" folder and choose the "bbw64" icon - you'll notice that the Band-in-a-Box® "splash screen" will state "64-bit" as the program opens.
(and if you open the 32-bit version, the "splash screen" will state "32-bit")
Still not certain which version you're running? Within the program, go to Help | About Band-in-a-Box - it'll either state:
Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
Version 2019 (604) <--- the number in brackets is the build number - this will change as new patch updates are released
64 bit application
or:
Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
Version 2019 (604) <--- the number in brackets is the build number - this will change as new patch updates are released
32 bit application
We hope everyone who can is enjoying their Band-in-a-Box® 2019 64-bit version for Windows!
