Now's the Day and Now's the Hour: Scotland Remembers the Alamo
By Carl Peterson
Examines the role of Scotland at the Alamo and in Texas history. A unique combination of history and music that connects the spirit and background of the Alamo defenders to Scotland. With piper John MacGregor and the fiddler of the Alamo the men's spirits were maintained with the music of Scotland that contained a history of a fighting spirit. These songs were then used as the tunes for ballads and stories written about the Alamo and the Texas Revolution. The book also contains the melody, lyrics and historical notes on all the songs from the CD, by Carl Peterson, Scotland Remembers the Alamo.
