BONUS - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzyEd2soQkk - Since I Don't Have You - The Skyliners
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Since_I_Don%27t_Have_You:
"Since I Don't Have You" is a song by the doo-wop group The Skyliners. Released in 1958, the single reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and also the top five of the R&B chart. The song, highlighted by a powerful vocal by lead singer Jimmy Beaumont, and a falsetto on the final chorus by Janet Vogel, is considered by oldies fans to be one of the best "heartbreak" ballads ever recorded, and a classic of pre-Beatles rock and roll, and is still frequently played on the radio. The song was featured in the films American Graffiti, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, Lethal Weapon 2, and Mischief. |

TODAY IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES:
From
http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/This%20Day/thisday0820.htm - INCLUDING:
Tuesday, Aug. 20, 1861
COMMAND CHANGES CONSIDERED CLARIFIED
The Federal government was beginning to put together the team that would
prosecute the war to reunify the country. Yesterday had seen the promotion of
George H. Thomas to brigadier general, and the recall of Maj. Gen. Henry Halleck
from California to Washington. Thomas, a Virginian, chose to stay with his
nation over his state, at considerable personal cost as much of his family never
spoke to him again. Halleck, it was correctly assumed, would be named to overall
command. Finally, today one George B. McClellan, major general, was named
commander of both the Department of the Potomac and the army of the same name.
Wednesday, Aug. 20, 1862
MCCLELLAN MAKES MARTIAL MOVEMENTS
One year later George McClellan was still in command of the Army of the Potomac,
although he was not leading them into any great number of battles. One who was
fighting today was Gen. John Pope, albeit not very well. His Army of Virginia
(one of the few Union armies named after a piece of land rather than a body of
water) was skirmishing with Robert E. Lee’s men and coming out on the losing end
most of the time. McClellan set his men in motion today from the Peninsula to
Aquia Creek to be in a position to help Pope out. As he feared Pope was
something of a up and coming star, he was not in any great hurry to assist the
competition.

CHATTANOOGA CONFLICT CAUSES CONFUSION
When a vote was taken to decide if Tennessee would leave the Union, the outcome
was very close. The eastern part of the state had been heavily against
secession, but that did not mean the Federal effort to reclaim them was going to
be easy. Today Gen. William Rosecrans and his Army of the Cumberland were
nearing the Tennessee River as they slowly closed in on Chattanooga. Their
target, Gen. Braxton Bragg, was sending increasingly hysterical telegrams to
President Davis demanding reinforcements. By his calculations his 40,000 troops
were facing 60,000 with Rosecrans and another 30,000 to arrive shortly under
Burnside.

STEVENS SEEKS STEALTHY SABOTEURS
The USS Pontoosuc sailed into Halifax, Nova Scotia today confident that they
would find and capture the CSS Tallahassee. This Confederate commerce raider had
been threatening shipping on the vital New York-London routes in the North
Atlantic. To the chagrin of the Northerners they discovered they had missed
their prey by a mere seven hours, as she had sailed the night before. Lt.
Commander Stevens, commanding Pontoosuc, went ashore to consult the US
consulate. The consul reported that they were under the impression that
Tallahassee was headed for the Gulf of St. Lawrence, so Stevens headed in that
direction. In fact the raider, short of fuel, was headed home to Wilmington,
N.C. She captured one more prize, the brig Roan.
