Dale, do you think you can post the lyrics of those dead baby songs? I think we'd get a kick out of them.
Now generally, I like the sentimentality in Stephen Foster songs. A couple of weeks ago, I got an overdose. I visited the Stephen Foster museum in Florida, a concrete block replica of a plantation house, built in the 1950's where the Suwannee River hits the Interstate. The museum had dioramas depicting the most popular Foster songs, with motorized slaves picking cotton and a steamboat that actually moved. Truly tacky. Y'all oughta stop to visit. It's good for a laugh.
