Yet another of Stephen Foster's songs is Oh Susanna. Information taken from Wikipedia is as follows: The nonsense verse that opens the song hints that the song is not intended to be taken too seriously. "Oh! Susanna" is a song written by Stephen Foster. It was first published on February 25, 1848. Popularly associated with the California Gold Rush, the song is occasionally (incorrectly) called "Banjo on My Knee". In 1843, the year Daniel Decatur Emmett established the Virginia Minstrels as the first blackface troupe in New York. Foster, 16, was working as a bookkeeper for his brother's business in Pittsburgh. His brother, Morrison Foster, was a friend of the early circus blackface clown, Dan Rice, and the young Stephen came under Rice's influence. Foster also became aware of the new fad of "Ethiopian" songs. He also met a member of the minstrel troupe, the Sable Harmonists, who performed his first attempt, "Old Uncle Ned." A contest in 1847 given by The Eagle Saloon stimulated the song called "Away Down Souf." His next attempt was titled "Susanna" advertised at "A Grand Gala Concert" as "[A] new song, never before given to the public." A local music store, Peters & Field bought the song for $100, but before they could publish it, it was pirated by a New York publisher who printed it with the name of EP Christy as author. Christy's Minstrels were rapidly becoming the most popular group in the Bowery theater district of Manhattan, and were to be the chief performers of .... + Informações

"Turkey in the Straw" is a well-known American folk song dating from the early 19th century. The song's tune was first popularized in the late 1820s and early 1830s by blackface performers, notably George Washington Dixon, Bob Farrell and George Nichols. Another song, "Old Zip Coon", was sung to the same tune. This version was first published between 1829 and 1834 in either New York or Baltimore. All of the above performers claimed to have written the song, and the dispute is not resolved. Ohio songwriter Daniel Decatur Emmett is sometimes erroneously credited as the song's author. I first came across it in the BBC Schools broadcast 'Singing Together' where the words are attributed to yet another claimant, David Stevens.. + Informações

Song lyrics and download available here: www.balladofamerica.com Artist: Matthew Sabatella & the Rambling String Band Description: Although known as a Southern anthem, 'Dixie's Land' was written for the minstrel stage by Daniel Decatur Emmett in New York City. The song was so popular in the South that it became generally accepted as the rallying song of the Confederacy. Lincoln loved the song since he first heard it at a show by the Rumsey and Newcomb Minstrels in Chicago in 1860. According to a fellow attorney who attended the show with him, after 'Dixie's Land' was played, Lincoln clapped and shouted "Let's have it again! Let's have it again!" With the end to the Civil War, which had lasted four years, seemingly in sight, President Lincoln gave his Second Inaugural Address on March 4, 1865. He proclaimed, With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds. With that idea in mind, on April 8, 1865, the day before Confederate commander Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union General-in-Chief Ulysses S. Grant, Lincoln requested that a military band on board the River Queen play 'Dixie's Land', the song to which nearly all of the Southern attacks had been conducted. According to a French writer who accompanied him, Lincoln said, "That tune is now Federal property and it is good to show the rebels that, with us in power, they will be free to hear .... + Informações

"Dixie", also known as "I Wish I Was in Dixie", "Dixie's Land", and other titles, is a popular American song. It is one of the most distinctively American musical products of the 19th century, and probably the best-known song to have come out of blackface minstrelsy. Although not a folk song at its creation, "Dixie" has since entered the American folk vernacular. The song likely cemented the word "Dixie" in the American vocabulary as a synonym for the Southern United States. Most sources credit Ohio-born Daniel Decatur Emmett with the song's composition; however many other people have claimed to have composed "Dixie", even during Emmett's lifetime. Compounding the problem of definitively establishing the song's authorship are Emmett's own confused accounts of its writing, and his tardiness in registering the song's copyright. The latest challenge has come on behalf of the Snowden Family of Knox County, Ohio, who may have collaborated with Emmett to write "Dixie". The song originated in the blackface minstrel shows of the 1850s and quickly grew famous across the United States. Its lyrics, written in a comic, exaggerated version of African American Vernacular English, tell the story of a freed black slave pining for the plantation of his birth. During the American Civil War, "Dixie" was adopted as a de facto anthem of the Confederacy. New versions appeared at this time that more explicitly tied the song to the events of the Civil War. Since the advent of the North American .... + Informações

Bing Crosby * Dixie Part 2 Dixie is a highly fictionalized biography of Daniel Decatur Emmett who was born in Mount Vernon, Ohio and was twice married: to Catherine Rives, who died in 1875 and then to Mary Louise Bird, a widow with two daughters. Emmett performed his first song Old Dan Tucker at the age of fifteen. He was one of four men in the "Original Virginia Minstrels," with Frank Brower. Billy Whitlock, and Dick Pelham. Emmett later performed with Bryant's Minstrels in New York and then with Leavitt's Gigantean Minstrels. Emmett wrote the song Dixie in the spring of 1859, while with Bryant's Minstrels in New York. At the beginning of the Civil War both armies marched to the tune of Dixie but by 1861 Dixie had become a Southern tune. The movie is essentially a series of songs and 'black-face' acts. The latter, although generally considered humorous in 1943, will probably offend many viewers today.. + Informações

Signup for Vi Wickam's Fiddle Tune a Day at: www.vithefiddler.com I have loved playing Turkey in the Straw for a very long time. I often think that simple melodies (2-part tunes) like Turkey in the Straw and Arkansas Traveler don't get the respect that they deserve. These are amazingly catchy tunes that have managed to survive for over 100 years. To me, they rock!

Theme from Dixie. National Anthem Of The Confederate States Of America Cuando era joven leí la novela de Margaret Mitchelll "Lo que el viento se llevó" y me gustó mucho. Entonces mi amigo Juan se compró un reproductor de video, no recuerdo si Beta o VHS y nos propuso estrenarlo viendo una peli. Yo sugerí ver "Lo que el viento se llevó", recuerdo que iba en dos cintas, y los pobres, sobre todo Rafa, se dormían en el sofá, mientras yo la miraba entusiasmado. Recordando aquello con una sonrisa (y también a mi héroe Robert E. Lee de Virginia y Ava Gadner de Carolina del Norte), he grabado Dixie con un par de guitarras, no está perfecta, ya lo sé pero así es como me puede salir sin esforzarme mucho. Eso sí, si fuera una grabación en un estudio hubiese quedado infinitamente mejor, desde luego. Aquí hay algún fallo y algún ruido que se cuela.

Historical Info About The Song: Written in 1850's by Ohio Native Daniel Decatur Emmett, dixie's land was originally written to be played in Southern Minstrel's, shows depicting Black-face and generally racist images of African Americans. Later on in the 1860's the lyrics underwent several changes and became the unofficial National Anthem of the Confederate States of America. The song endured much more popularity in the years after the Civil War. Southener's to this day sight the song as a symbol of pride to their culture, still though dixie's land has fallen from grace recently and has been dubbed "racist" by many of it's critics, who cite its origin and the imagery with the Confederacy as reasons why the song should not be played...

I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee, I'm going to Louisiana, my true love for to see It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry The sun so hot I froze to death; Susanna, don't you cry. Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me cos' I come from Alabama With my banjo on my knee. I had a dream the other night when everything was still, I thought I saw Susanna coming up the hill, A buck wheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye, I said I'm coming from the south, Susanna don't you cry. I soon will be in New Orleans and then I'll look around And when I find my Susanna, I'll fall upon the ground But if I do not find her, this man will surely die And when I'm dead and buried, Susanna don't you cry.. + Informações
