GUEST,Pete Peterson at work | Franklin D. Roosevelt and Blues (16) | RE: Roosevelt and Blues | 29 Feb 00 |
Stewie-- I agree that Charlie Poole's recording of Whitehouse Blues does sing "Roosevelt's in the White House, doing his best/McKinley's in the graveyard takin his rest" but do believe the song refers to Teddy, who succeeded McKinley and not to FDR. If this is not convincing enough, Poole died the year before FDR was elected. |
