| Alma Gluck - Old Black JoeThu, 08 Jan 2009 19:05:26 -0800 by pax41Victor 74442 recorded 6/9/1915composed by Stephen FosterMale chorus vocalists:Reinald Werrenrath (vocalist: baritone vocal) Harry Macdonough (vocalist: tenor vocal) Lambert Murphy (vocalist: tenor vocal) William F. Hooley (vocalist: bass vocal) Orchestra personal:Walter B. Rogers (conductor) Efrem Zimbalist (instrumentalist: celeste)Stephen Collins Foster (July 4, 1826 January 13, 1864), known as the "father of American music," was the pre-eminent songwriter in the United States of the 19th century. His songs, such as "Oh! Susanna", "Camptown Races", "Old Folks at Home" ("S(u)wanee River"), "My Old Kentucky Home", "Old Black Joe", and "Beautiful Dreamer" remain popular over 150 years after their composition.Although many of his songs held Southern themes, Foster never lived there and visited the Deep South only once, on a river-boat trip down the Mississippi to New Orleans in 1852 on his honeymoon. Foster is notable for popularizing the use of the "honky tonk" piano style and the use of the Swanee whistle for a mainstream audience.Foster attempted to make a living as a professional songwriter and may be considered a pioneer in this respect, since this field did not yet exist in the modern sense. Consequently, due in part to the poor provisions for music copyright and composer royalties at the time, Foster saw very little of the profits which his works generated for sheet music printers. Multiple publishers often printed their own competing editions of Foster's tunes, paying Foster nothing. For "Oh, Susanna", he received $100.(Information from Wiki) Related: 1900's alma gluck opera singer stephen foster |

| The Crows Grass Band - Wilderness RoadsThu, 08 Jan 2009 18:38:46 -0800 by igelcheThe Wilderness Road was the principal route used by settlers to reach Kentucky for more than fifty years. In 1775, Daniel Boone blazed a trail for the Transylvania Company from Fort Chiswell in Virginia through the Cumberland Gap into central Kentucky. It was later lengthened, following Native American trails, to reach the Falls of the Ohio at Louisville. The Wilderness Road was steep and rough, and could only be traversed on foot or horseback. Despite the adverse conditions, thousands of people used it. In 1792, the new Kentucky legislature provided money to upgrade the road. In 1796, an improved all-weather road was opened for wagon and carriage travel. The road was abandoned around 1840, although modern highways follow much of its route.
