This blog grew out of my "Down Da Road I Go Blog," which was originally to be about stuff I was interested in, music and what I was doing. There was so much history and Civil War entries, I spun two more off. Starting Jan. 1, 2012, I will be spinning a Naval blog off this one called "Running the Blockade."

Illinois' Gov. "Toilets" Bans Confederate Railroad Band
In the last post I mentioned this group being cancelled at a county fair.
The governor banned the country group Confederate Railroad from playing at the Illinois State Fair in August because of the name and Confederate flag on their logo. He also banned them from the Du Quoin State Fair.
I guess, in truth, the governor, known for his love of toilets, was fearful that the overflow crowds who would come out to see the band would be too much for the state fair bathrooms and to avoid an unpleasant scene, he had them cancelled.
However, they will be playing at the Black Diamond Harley-Davidson party in Marion, Illinois, on September 5.
And, Liz and I had been considering going to the Illinois State Fair this year.
Not Now. --Old Secesh
