James,

That may be the beginning, but my line is in there somewhere, too-- I have a performer friend who covers that song, accompanying himself plays tenor guitar, I cringe whenever I hear him sing it--I am the only one, however, I have seen him perform it for politically correct and racially mixed audiences in the large, liberal East Coast city where he lives,(including, on occasion, some nationally well known "Bleeding Heart Liberal" politicians an not raise an eyebrow.

I on the otherhand, have gotten the fisheye for the "pardon me boy" in "Chattanooga Choo-Choo"--Chattanooga, it will be remembered, was a city that was often mentioned in blackface comedy--

Has anyone gotten into any real trouble for singing a song?
