If you’re looking for some musical entertainment today, check out ukelele-playing singer-songwriter Louisa Hall’s tremendous “Gettysburg Rap” — a lyrical ode to one of the most important battles of the American Civil War.
Louisa is a funny and charming woman, as I discovered when I interviewed her in Washington, DC, recently. Click here for the interview. And her great sense of humor is present (along with a cameo by her kazoo) in the above video.
She performed the rap as part of the UnreheasedDC series, which has the simple but tremendous goal of filming great bands in unique locations. The location for Louisa’s performance? A shower. Once you’re done with the musical history lesson above, check out some of the other videos on the UnrehearsedDC site — including Louisa’s “Awkward” song.
