Thread Name: The 1811 Folk Music Hit Parade?
Subject: RE: The 1811 Folk Music Hit Parade?
"To Anacreon In Heaven" is the drinking song that gave us the tune for "The Star Spangled Banner". How fascinating to have a copy of it, with music, three years before the latter was even written. Is "The Cuckoo" the same one we are familiar with. You know, the silly bird that never sings before the first day of July?
