In southern California we learned many of the songs of Stephen Foster (it was permitted back then as he was only a year or two in his grave **grin**), sea shanties, gold rush era songs, and Mexican folkdance and songs...La Raspa, La Cucaracha....We had multiculturalism in the late 1940s and we didn't even know it. What if we really could all get along today?--John (not Jon)
