To "Guest Boab", I really like your phrase ..."it has the depth of a puddle." Well said! However I have to respectfully dissagree. This song, The Darky Sunday School, has an incredible history and import. Let me try to explain. Because if my circumstances, I do a LOT of singing at olde folks homes, nursing homes, etc. My Father is 93, my Mother 88. I am around OLDE folks all the time. I am often asked if I know this song or that. The Darky Sunday School is often requested. I do believe this song is a perfect example of the inherent sterotyping that occurs. When I am asked to sing this "ditty," I don't, because I don't want to perpetuate it. It will take several more generations for these songs to die out, but they will. Again, I'm NOT trying to start a fight, but I DO think this song has more depth and history to it. Respectfully, Bob
