there is a song on the new tom russel album, modern art,
about the end of foster's life...it is like a dream or
halucination with the characters from his songs floating
thru--jeannie with the light brown hair, cotton fields,
singing with the banjo, swanee river, camptown ladies,
Kentucky Home, with some of the melodies from his songs woven,
written by Carl Brouse, called American Hotel, which is
apparently where Stephen Foster died.
