Thanks, Connie, for the red, white, and blue Tribute To Our Troops.
LONG day today....I never had 5 minutes to myself, altho I took time to have lunch with an old friend. We ate at Longstar...yummy!
Did you have a good Friday? Easy commute? Any more piggie/coyote issues? *HUGS*
Hope you get some resting time this weekend.
Oh! Susanna was a hit, but you never would have known it from the contents of Fosters wallet. He had been burned badly, but he learned two important lessons from the experience: (1) he could write successful songs, and (2) he needed to protect his artistic property.
Foster understood that the minstrel shows of the era were the way to gain an audience for his songs, but he decided to humanize the people in his songs and convey a sense that everyone shared the same needs, free or slave. He told the performers of his songs not to make fun of slaves, but to get their audiences to feel compassion for them. Foster was the reforming figure of the minstrel movement in American entertainment. Some of this came from the fact that Pittsburgh was a center for abolitionism in Pennsylvania, and one of Pittsburghs great abolitionist figures, Charles Shiras, was a boyhood friend of Fosters.

The Robert Shaw Chorale recorded an album of Foster songs in 1958, and it sold well.
At the end of 1849, Foster quit his job in Cincinnati, returned to Pittsburgh, and signed a contract with a New York publisher, beginning his professional life as a songwriter.
Nite, Conor! (((hugs)))
I really like Stephen Foster’s Songs.
My students like them too.
I tell them that in Foster’s day, there were NO iPads, iPods, Nanos, MP3 Players, cd’s, videos, or even Cassettes or RECORDS. Everybody had a piano in the Parlor, and if you wanted to hear a Stephen foster song, you could play it on the piano.
Which meant you HAD to be able to READ Sheet Music!
