Well, Ted Anthony's book is ALMOST out, I guess. A few weeks ago I had a request from Simon & Schuster to read the galley they sent to me, and to write a short comment to be used on the back jacket of the new book. Title is CHASING THE RISING SUN. Anthony is totally obsessed with this song- but I suppose one would have to be, to write a whole book about it! But it's well written, and holds the interest all the way. Look for it.                   Jean

PS: I sang this song, as did many of my neighbors in Perry County, KY when I was a young girl- in the early thirties. My sisters and I would sing it only when Mom couldn't hear us! We didn't think much of it, but it did have a pretty tune...
