Back when it was okay to be a white male, Stephen Collins Foster was a popular songwriter who wrote much of those childhood standards we all sang in school.
He lived from July 4, 1826 through January 13, 1864 and was known as "the father of American Music" for his tremdous impact on the musical arts and lyricism in particular.
I remember those days in Blackfoot, Idaho and Virginia Beach, Virginia as some of the most formative artistically infused periods of my life and Stephen C Foster was part of it all.
Now with the democrats and progressives trying to rewrite correct history with their customized versions you don't hear too much from him or his music anymore.
Those "parlor" and "minstrel" tunes have been supplanted with with R Kelly wanting to pee on you and other standards reflecting the stupidity of pop culture innundating the masses.
It's a wonder that any American culture remains amid the hip hop and other drivel called (very loosely) "music".
Stephen Foster Memorial Day is an observance in the United States celebrating his life and legacy despite the sad events of late with the uneducated masses and persons supposedly being "educated" likewise being dumb as dirt despite their superiority complex and 3 educational degrees.
