Music for New Year's Eve

Happy New Year.  Here's the best song about the American Civil War ever written by a Canadian.


In searching for this video, I learn that Levon Helm--for whom, of course, the song was written--has refused to sing it in the 35 years since this performance was filmed for The Last Waltz.   Apparently he feels a farewell performance should be a farewell performance.
