A nation should celebrate its great composers.
When touring in Norway, I played Edvard Grieg and was treated like royalty. Same for Rachmaninoff in Russia, Sibelius in Finland, Strauss in Vienna, Smetana in Prague, etc.
In the USA, statues of Stephen Foster are torn down instead.
Happy Veteran's Day 🫡
This forgotten song from 1878 celebrates the fallen soldiers of the Civil War, both North and South.
It is recorded here for the very first time 🙏

This Stephen Foster classic is virtually unknown and has only been recorded a handful of times. AFAIK this is the first recording ever that's faithful to the original 1860 sheet music. Beautiful song!
It's frankly appalling how many of these forgotten masterpieces remain completely neglected and unknown today.
It's an indictment on modern society and the death of culture that we refuse to honor and preserve the beauty of the past.
Disgusting how this gets drowned out by slop.
Recorded *two* Stephen Foster songs today, one of his finest, and one of his rarest. My goal is to eventually record *every* song he ever wrote.
The rare one:

This very rare song is one of nearly 200 works by Stephen Foster that have largely been forgotten today.
Although there are a handful of modern renditions, this is the first that is faithful to the original 1860 sheet music.

That one time I sung every US state and country and their respective capitals in one continuous 11 minute performance, all memorized.
This video had nearly a million views on YouTube before my channel was nuked. This feat will likely never be replicated.

Most people hear a recorded song and think THAT'S the song, end of story.
I see a "song" as a blueprint to be reinterpreted many different ways.
They've programmed us to forget what music is all about: a dynamic, constantly evolving art form. Music has become static conformity.
