I agree with you Ole Bull, but would also add this thought. All the PC types who edit or ban the Minstrel tunes in the name of "Racial Sensitivity" often end up hurting the people they're trying to protect. I am reminded that here in Virginia they've banned the state song "Carry Me back to Ole Virginny" which was written by James Bland, a black man. He died in obscurity in Philadelphia in 1911 and was buried in the the Merion Cemetery outside the city, his grave forgotten and overgrown with weeds. In 1946 the Governor of Virginia William Tuck headed a delegation to the cemetery where a new granite monument was raised and a wreath placed in memory of the author of "Carry me back to Ole Virginny". The PC zealots have effectively relegated James Bland to obscurity again where he will be forgotten except to those of us...Black and White who still remember his songs like "Oh, Dem Golden Slippers" and "In the Evening by the Moonlight". As others have mentioned, they will not stop till "Old Kentucky Home" and "Swanee River" are removed from the popular lexicon. I for one favor the disclaimer routine...explain to the audience the nature and history of the tune...warn the "faint of heart" about the words, then give them two minutes to leave. Then let 'er rip as the composer intended.
