Eventually moving to Nashville, Lisa joined the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 2003, and became a chairperson for The Music of the Confederacy for the state of Tennessee. Realizing the need to record songs from this time period, it is Lisa's intent to preserve the songs of the Civil War era in the hope that they are remembered and treasured.
