Thread Name: Lyr Req: Old Black Joe (Stephen Foster)
Subject: RE: Ole Black Joe, some don't believe it exits
I wonder what they do now with the sheet music for songs such as "Deep River"? It is listed as a Negro spiritual as is the lovely song, (which was sung at my father's funeral), "Going Home". I agree that we've become so politically "uptight", we've lost the flavor of the era that was "just the way things were" at the time. Remember the song (I think) "In The Evening By The Moonlight"? or was that called "Old Folks At HOme"????Hm-m-m...now I've confused myself (how rare.)
