Podcasts about My Old Kentucky Home

Around campfires North and South, many of the tunes played and sung during the Civil War were the work of a 35-year-old Pennsylvanian who was America's first full-time professional songwriter.By the time the war started, Stephen Collins Foster — who as a youth taught himself to play the clarinet, guitar, flute and the piano — had published more than 200 songs.His best ones — “Oh Susannah,” “Camptown Races,” “Old Folks at Home (Swanee River),” “My Old Kentucky Home,” “Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair,” “Hard Times Comes Again No More” — already were widely known throughout the country to amateur and professional musicians alike.About “Angelina Baker”This song, though, was not one of the famous ones. Foster wrote “Angelina Baker,” sometimes performed as “Angeline the Baker,” in 1850 for use by the theater world's Christy Minstrels troupe.Today folks know it primarily as an instrumental dance tunes performed by old-time and bluegrass bands, almost always with a lively fiddle leading the way. An early version was recorded for Victor in 1928 by Uncle Eck Dunford of Galax, Va. Meanwhile, West Virginia fiddler Franklin George called it "Angeline" and played it with Scottish overtones.Foster's original, though, was a bit slower and had lyrics that lamented the loss of a woman slave, sent away by her owner.Huntington-born music historian Ken Emerson — who in 1997 wrote a definitive biography called Doo-Dah!: Stephen Foster and the Rise of American Popular Culture — said that “Angelina Baker” entered the American consciousness during a period of great controversy between free and slave states. The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 was among the hotly debated topics at the time of the song's composition, and, Emerson noted, Foster's lyrics obliquely acknowledge these controversies. (Angelina likes th' boys as far as she can see ‘em / She used to run old Massa round to ask him for to free ‘em…. Angelina Baker, Angelina Baker's gone / She left me here to weep a tear and beat on de old jawbone… )Our Take on the TuneThe Flood has always celebrated diversity. The guys often follow a folk blues with a swing tune or chase a 1950s jazz standard with some 1920s jug band stuff. And deep in The Flood's DNA are the fiddle tunes learned from Joe Dobbs and Doug Chaffin. This Civil War-era tune the band learned from fiddlin' Jack Nuckols, their newest band mate.From the Archives: How We Met AngelinaAs reported earlier, Dave Peyton and Charlie Bowen started 50 years ago trying to draw Nuckols into the band. On an April evening back in 1974, Peyton and Bowen trekked over to Jack and Susie's place in South Point, Ohio, for a jam session. It was during that session that they first heard “Angelina Baker.” Here from the fathomless Flood files is that specific archival moment.

Happy holidays from One True Podcast, and it wouldn't be the holiday season without Suzanne del Gizzo—the celebrated editor of The Hemingway Review—here to discuss another one of Hemingway's seasonally appropriate works. In previous years, we have talked together about “God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen,” “Christmas on the Roof of the World,” “The Christmas Gift,” and “A North of Italy Christmas.” This year, we explore “The Blind Man's Christmas Eve,” an article Hemingway wrote for The Toronto Star in December 1923.With Suzanne, we place the story in its historical and biographical contexts, delve into the relationship between the main character and the curious narrative perspective, examine how physical and metaphorical blindness works in the story, and connect the story to other Hemingway works such as “The Snows of Kilimanjaro," "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place," "Get a Seeing-Eyed Dog," and Islands in the Stream. We also think about the importance of the song “My Old Kentucky Home,” which the main character hears an Italian organ grinder play. As a special gift to our listeners, we begin the episode with a reading of “The Blind Man's Christmas Eve” by former guest Mackenzie Astin, star of The Facts of Life, The Magicians, and In Love and War, where he played the young Henry Villard opposite Chris O'Donnell's Hemingway and Sandra Bullock's Agnes von Kurowsky. We also end the episode with another treat--a moving rendition of "My Old Kentucky Home" by Hemingway scholar Michael Kim Roos, who appeared as a guest on one of our previous shows on A Farewell to Arms.Thanks for another great year, everybody. Enjoy!

American SongwriterBefore radio and television, movies and recordings, entertainment was often a family or community matter.Someone in the family could play a musical instrument, or a neighborhood musician would play for small gatherings.In addition, there would be travelling groups of musicians, actors and clowns who would go from town to town.In nineteenth century United States, one of the most popular forms of entertainment was the minstrel show.Black slavery was still permitted in the southern states until 1865.Even after that date, the lives of many blacks working on large farms or plantations did not change much.They did hard physical labor in the fields, had little control over their lives, and very little time to relax with their friends.Foster,who was born in 1826, made this situation the background for many of his songs.White musicians would try to imagine the feelings of black men and women working on the plantations.They would write songs in the dialect or speech patterns that they thought black slaves used.In these songs, the black people would be talking about their hardships, falling in love, playing music and dancing, and finally growing old and dying.They would play musical instruments, like the banjo, a small four-stringed guitar, which black people played often.As a small boy, Stephen Foster had sometimes been taken to a black church by his family's black servant, Olivia Pise.Here he first heard the melodies that inspired his own songs.Only a couple of Foster's songs are based directly on "Negro spirituals;" but many of his songs have the natural simplicity and emotional power of folk songs.The youngest member of a large family, Foster showed his musical talent at an early age.Growing up in an energetic business family Stephen was expected to become a businessman.And,for a while, he worked as a book keeper.Foster attended minstrel shows and tried to get the performers to sing his songs.Sometimes the performers would steal his songs and publish them under their own names.Copyright laws were weak and rarely enforced,so some music publishers would just go ahead and publish a song without paying the songwriter.Since Foster hoped to make a living as a songwriter, this was a problem.Foster's first hit song was "Oh!Susanna" published in 1848.It became popular with the thousands of men from all over the United States who were heading west to the Californian gold-rush of 1849.Unfortunately,as an unknown song writer Foster received no money from his early songs.He seems to have given them out right to the music publishers, just to establish his reputation.Foster's name, however, was soon widely known,and in 1849 he was able to afford to give up book keeping, and marry the daughter of a Pittsburgh physician.During the next five years, he earned a moderately good income from songwriting.In 1851, a daughter Marion was born.Foster wrote many of his best-known songs at this time - "Old Folks at Home"in 1851;"My Old Kentucky Home" in 1853, and "Jeanie With the Light Brown Hair" in 1854.Difficulties in Foster's marriage began fairly soon.He spent days locked in his room working on his songs.Then he would rush out with his materials to the local music store, presumably to test out the songs on his friends.Eventually,his wife and daughter left him.Foster died alone in a rooming house in 1864.However,there were very few typically American songs.Foster provided many songs that expressed the life of nineteenth century U.S.A.In a sense, Foster helped to create roots for American popular music.翻译斯蒂芬·福斯特?美国作曲家在广播、电视、电影和唱片出现之前，娱乐通常是家庭或社区事务。家里有人可以演奏乐器，或者邻里音乐家会在小型聚会上演奏。此外，还有由音乐家、演员和小丑组成的巡回团体，他们会从一个城镇到另一个城镇。在19世纪的美国，最流行的娱乐形式之一是吟游诗人表演。直到1865年，南方各州仍然允许蓄奴。即使在那之后，许多在大农场或种植园工作的黑人的生活也没有太大改变。他们在地里干着繁重的体力劳动，对自己的生活几乎没有控制权，很少有时间和朋友们一起放松。福斯特出生于1826年，他的许多歌曲都以这种情况为背景。白人音乐家试图想象在种植园工作的黑人男女的感受。他们会用他们认为黑人奴隶使用的方言或语言模式来写歌。在这些歌曲中，黑人会谈论他们的苦难，恋爱，演奏音乐和跳舞，最后变老和死亡。他们会演奏乐器，比如班卓琴，一种黑人经常演奏的四弦小吉他。斯蒂芬·福斯特小时候，有时会被家里的黑人仆人奥利维亚·皮斯带到黑人教堂。在这里，他第一次听到了启发他创作自己歌曲的旋律。福斯特的歌曲中只有几首是直接取材于“黑人灵歌”，但他的许多歌曲都具有民歌的自然质朴和情感力量。作为一个大家庭中最小的成员，福斯特在很小的时候就展示了他的音乐天赋。斯蒂芬生长在一个充满活力的商业家庭，人们期望他成为一名商人。有一段时间，他做过簿记员。福斯特参加了吟游诗人的演出，并试图让表演者唱他的歌。有时表演者会窃取他的歌曲，并以自己的名义发表。版权法很弱，很少被执行，所以一些音乐出版商会直接出版一首歌，而不付钱给词曲作者。由于福斯特希望以写歌为生，这就成了一个问题。福斯特的第一首热门歌曲是《哦!苏珊娜》出版于1848年。1849年，成千上万的美国人从美国各地前往西部的加利福尼亚淘金热，这个词受到了他们的欢迎。不幸的是，作为一个不知名的词曲作者，福斯特没有从他早期的歌曲中获得任何收入。他似乎把版权给了音乐出版商，只是为了树立自己的声誉。然而，福斯特的名字很快就广为人知了，1849年，他放弃了簿记工作，娶了匹兹堡一位医生的女儿。在接下来的五年里，他从写歌中获得了相当不错的收入。1851年，女儿玛丽昂出生了。福斯特在这个时期创作了许多他最著名的歌曲——1851年的《家里的老人》;1853年的《我的肯塔基老家》和1854年的《浅棕色头发的珍妮》。福斯特的婚姻很快就出现了问题。他一连几天把自己锁在房间里写歌。然后，他会带着他的材料冲到当地的音乐商店，大概是为了在他的朋友们身上测试这些歌曲。最终，他的妻子和女儿离开了他。1864年，福斯特独自一人在一间公寓里去世。然而，很少有典型的美国歌曲。福斯特创作了许多表达19世纪美国生活的歌曲从某种意义上说，福斯特为美国流行音乐奠定了基础。

We don't like what we've been saying lately, so we're changing the conversation. That's right, we're back this week to discuss Episode 2 of Season 3 of Mad Men, titled "Love Among the Ruins." This is an episode all about replacing the old with the new, whether it's the sound of Ann Margaret's voice selling you Diet Pepsi or Peggy doing something new. Having sex! Well, almost. Elsewhere in the Mad Men universe, we see Don going toe-to-toe with one of his oldest rivals, Betty's father Gene. But he's been warming up on awkward conversation thanks to a double date with Lane Pryce and his wife Rebecca.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS In New York City, Mayor Eric Adams, black male, and company continue debating what should be done following the subway choking death of Jordan Neely, also a black male. Neely is accused of being an unruly black dude in public and frightening passengers on the subway. A White 24-year-old Marine, Daniel J. Penny, has been identified as the passenger who choked Neely to death. His attorney says Penny acted in self defense. Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, New Yorkers reported an increase in subway attacks - which allegedly contributed to the ongoing decrease in ridership. This is a major part of this debate as many suggest rowdy, no-counts like Neely make life hell for subway passengers. We also disscus this weekend's Kentucky Derby. The brilliant host of The C.O.W.S. recently scheduled a number of programs about this history of White Supremacy in Kentucky and cultural import of the Churchill Downs. 7 horses died this week leading up the big contest - some under suspicious circumstances. The band played My Old Kentucky Home - with the lyrics sanitized from the screen. The mint juleps and horse dung christened the spring afternoon. #NYCSubwayChokehold #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

On this episode, we look at who's hot and who's not in this year's Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby. Ed DeRosa, Vice President of Content at Horse Racing Nation, and Kellie Reilly, who writes for Churchill Downs, Inc. help us make sense of our racing programs and figure out where the smart money is this weekend. And we'll talk with Louisville author and poet Hannah Drake about her poem “Home,” which was commissioned by the non-profit organization Kentucky to the World as a response to the controversial state song “My Old Kentucky Home.”

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Katherine C. Mooney. The James P. Jones Associate Professor of History at Florida State University, Dr. Mooney examines "the cultural history of inequality in the United States--how it is imagined and made into political and legal discourse, how it plays out in people's daily lives. She primarily works on the history of slavery and its legacies." We'll examine her 2014 publication, Race Horse Men: How Slavery & Freedom Were Made at the Racetrack. This programs picks up right where we left off this past Monday with Dr. Emily Bingham and her book, My Old Kentucky Home. Dr. Mooney's work also explores White Supremacy/Racism. However, she explores the history of black horse trainers and jockeys from the plantation days to their complete obliteration. We'll discuss the value and sometimes extensive "privileges" awarded to black slaves with equine expertise. These young boys were often starved and sometimes celebrated across the land for the riding skills. However, after the Civil War, Whites promptly went about the business of obliterating all black employment in the horse racing industry. Many of these accomplished black sportsmen were left to substance abuse and, even, suicide. #LawnJockey #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Dr. Emily Bingham. A prizewinning author of three books who lives and teaches in Louisville, Kentucky, Dr. Bingham is a historian by trade and profession. She also classifies herself as a "privileged White Woman." During our current book study of Brazil, Gus was struck by references to the KKK, lynching, and the 19th century minstrel song "My Old Kentucky Home." The global appeal of this White Supremacist hymn led Gus to Dr. Bingham's 2022 publication, My Old Kentucky Home: The Astonishing Life and Reckoning of an Iconic American Song. The book details how Stephen Foster's minstrel jam spawned a tax-payer-funded public monument, became the Kentucky State anthem, and theme song of Churchill Down's Kentucky Derby. Even after Breonna Taylor was gunned down in her own Kentucky Home in March of 2020, Whites remained dedicated to their sacrosanct tune about gay darkies being sold down the river. We'll ask Dr. Bingham about her use of the terms: "spadework," "militant," and "progressive." The term "White Supremacy" is in her book 20 times. Meanwhile, the term "progress" is in the book 47 times! We also chatted about Bingham's own White Terrorist relatives who are still revered at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Gus made a primary point of two major omissions from Dr. Bingham's work: the University of Kentucky's dedicated White Supremacist Adolph Rupp & the 1919 White Terrorist purge of black residents from Corbin, Kentucky - home of Kentucky Fried Chicken. These "erasures" are common, deliberate acts of Racism. #LouisvilleLip #OldBlackJoe #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Welcome to January 13th, 2023 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate ducky trivia and a centuries old pop star.  This toy was inducted into the Toy Hall of Fame in 2013 where only 52 other toys enjoy this status. Do you know what it is? Marlo & John: G.I. Joe! Anna: Nooooo! It's the rubber ducky. But do you know why we celebrate National Rubber Ducky Day on this day?  Marlo & John: No. Anna: Okay. It first appeared on the Sesame Street Calendar in 1973 as Rubber Ducky's birthday. Marlo & John: Very cool. Anna: Okay, but do you know what the world's largest rubber duck is called? Marlo: No idea. Anna: It's Mama Duck. She's more than six stories high and weighs over 30,000 pounds. Marlo: What about the tub she's in? Anna: She's on the lake, Marlo. On National Rubber Ducky Day celebrate with this and other trivia and see why this ducky is still the one!   One of the greatest songwriters in American history was born on July 4th, 1826, which seems only fitting. Over a century before Elvis Presley or The Beatles were topping the charts, Stephen Foster was making his indelible mark on American culture. While his name may not be instantly recognizable, his songs certainly are. In 1847, the song Oh Susanna became his first big hit and catapulted him to fame. It became even more popular when the miners in the California gold rush adopted it as an anthem. Later, songs like Camptown Races, Beautiful Dreamer, and My Old Kentucky Home cemented his place in the pantheon of American music. On Stephen Foster Memorial Day, we celebrate the man who created hits that have stood the test of time. I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Kentucky's state anthem, "My Old Kentucky Home," is both a celebratory ballad evoking a sentimental feeling while, for others, outrage for its glorification of chattel slavery in the pre-Civil war south. Author Emily Bingham explores how the melody about America's original sin has evolved to become quote "a living symbol of a happy past," which was never just a song.

Any song as old and as familiar as “My Old Kentucky Home” is bound to have accrued many different meanings and an interesting history. Emily Bingham's book, My Old Kentucky Home: The Astonishing Life and Reckoning of an Iconic American Song (Knopf, 2022) delivers on the promise of its title. In this book Bingham uses the reception of “My Old Kentucky Home,” composed in 1853 by Stephen Foster, to consider how white Americans have constructed a story about the United States that washes away racism and silences the pain of enslavement and racialized violence. Bingham traces the journey of “My Old Kentucky Home” from a popular minstrel song written by an alcoholic Northerner to Lost Cause anthem to American patriotic hymn to a symbol of a reckoning over United States history that is still unfinished. She explains how Black Americans' responses to “My Old Kentucky Home” illuminates the challenges and contradictions of living within a racist system while also protesting it. Bingham also reveals the lengths to which some people will go in order to maintain an inauthentic history that conforms to a comforting national and even personal self-image. Kristen M. Turner is a lecturer in the music and honors departments at North Carolina State University. Her research centers on race and class in American popular entertainment at the turn of the twentieth century. Learn more about your ad choices.

Any song as old and as familiar as “My Old Kentucky Home” is bound to have accrued many different meanings and an interesting history. Emily Bingham's book, My Old Kentucky Home: The Astonishing Life and Reckoning of an Iconic American Song (Knopf, 2022) delivers on the promise of its title. In this book Bingham uses the reception of “My Old Kentucky Home,” composed in 1853 by Stephen Foster, to consider how white Americans have constructed a story about the United States that washes away racism and silences the pain of enslavement and racialized violence. Bingham traces the journey of “My Old Kentucky Home” from a popular minstrel song written by an alcoholic Northerner to Lost Cause anthem to American patriotic hymn to a symbol of a reckoning over United States history that is still unfinished. She explains how Black Americans' responses to “My Old Kentucky Home” illuminates the challenges and contradictions of living within a racist system while also protesting it. Bingham also reveals the lengths to which some people will go in order to maintain an inauthentic history that conforms to a comforting national and even personal self-image. Kristen M.

Stevie Holbrook is an outdoorsman, backyard homesteader, painter, & deep-rooted Eastern Kentuckian living amongst the aftermath of recent devastating floods in Letcher County. We begin with Stevie describing what the flood has been like for him & around his community, then expand into the plight of Appalachia as a whole. From there we transition into God, folkways, & folklore: superstitions around the dog days of summer & faith healing; haints & boogers; turtle buggin' & frog giggin'. Stevie then tells a paranormal story of a whistling creature in the woods, followed by his great-grandparents' encounter while coon hunting. We end on a lil' local history, archeology, & paleontology.   If you're interested in donating to the flood relief, check out the following: Foundation for Appalachia Kentucky or Team Eastern Kentucky Flood Relief FundMusic provided by Earl Suitor"My Old Kentucky Home "Written by Stephen FosterPerformed by Earl SuitorCourtesy of Earl Suitor"Clinch Mountain Backstep"Written by Ralph StanleyPerformed by Earl SuitorCourtesy of Earl SuitorSupport Our Numinous Nature on Patreon.Follow Our Numinous Nature & my naturalist illustrations on InstagramCheck out my shop of shirts, prints, and books featuring my artContact: herbaceoushuman@gmail.com

This week we welcomed author and historian Emily Bingham to the show to talk about her new book, My Old Kentucky Home: The Astonishing Life and Reckoning of an Iconic American Song. She talked to us about what she hoped to communicate through her book, what she meant in her conclusion, and how she approached writing a book about racism as a white person. It's a great conversation! Early voting begins on May 12th, and primary election day is May 17th (next Tuesday), so we did a primary preview of key races for state legislature, U.S. Congress, major mayoral races, LFUCG and Metro Council Seats, and even more! In addition, we talked about Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer's final proposed budget and his final vision for Louisville as mayor.   Dr. Bingham asked that we present the full lyrics of My Old Kentucky Home in the show notes so that people can better understand the conversation she hopes the book sparks. They are below -- be aware that they make use of a term for Black people which many consider a slur. You can listen to a version with the full lyrics here.   The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home, 'Tis summer, the darkies are gay; The corn-top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom, While the birds make music all the day. The young folks roll on the little cabin floor, All merry, all happy and bright; By 'n' by Hard Times comes a-knocking at the door, Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight. Weep no more my lady Oh! weep no more today! We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home, For the Old Kentucky Home far away They hunt no more for the possum and the coon, On meadow, the hill and the shore, They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon, On the bench by the old cabin door. The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart, With sorrow, where all was delight, The time has come when the darkies have to part, Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight. Weep no more my lady Oh! weep no more today! We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home, For the Old Kentucky Home far away The head must bow and the back will have to bend, Wherever the darky may go; A few more days, and the trouble all will end, In the field where the sugar-canes grow. A few more days for to tote the weary load, No matter, 'twill never be light; A few more days till we totter on the road, Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight. Weep no more my lady Oh! weep no more today! We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home, For the Old Kentucky Home far away.

The world famous Churchill Downs is home to Matt Winn's Steakhouse and we were invited to a one-of-a-kind bourbon experience inside its jaw-dropping "The Bourbon Room". Tim Knittel is the Official Bourbon Ambassador of Churchill Downs and has curated a tasting and dining experience for us as we sit down to record at the historic racetrack. We taste through a flight of private selection bourbons from the restaurant's impressive bourbon inventory. We hope you enjoy this podcast as we discuss history, the Kentucky Bourbon lifestyle, culinary experiences, and more.  Download this episode on your favorite podcast app and be sure to drop us a review while you're there.   About Tim Knittel: Tim Knittel is the first Official Bourbon Ambassador of Churchill Downs where he developed the Bourbon program for the new Matt Winn's Steakhouse. He has over 15 years of experience in the Bourbon industry including managing the culinary and VIP hospitality programs at the Woodford Reserve Distillery. In 2016, he founded Distilled Living which provides Bourbon education, tourism and consulting services and is the world's largest combined virtual and in-person Bourbon tastings company. He additionally holds the title of Adjunct Professor of Bourbon Studies at Midway University where he teaches tourism and hospitality courses with a focus on KY Bourbon tourism. His roles and work have been featured in Maxim, Forbes, Southern Living, American Whiskey Magazine, Good Morning America, NBC News, Washington Post, The Bourbon Review, Wonderlust and, now, Bourbon Lens Podcast. About Executive Sous Chef Stephen Dunn: Chef Dunn has a wealth of culinary experience around Louisville where he's trained at Sullivan University, and prior to Matt Winn's, has been tapped to head the kitchen in some of Louisville's top culinary hotspots.  Chef Dunn previously lead the kitchen of Equus & Jack's Lounge, The Hub, and Sullivan's Tap House in St. Matthews. He embraces Southern cuisine, bourbon, local ingredients, and Kentucky's heritage.  About Matt Winn & Matt Winn's Steakhouse: Matt Winn attended his first Kentucky Derby, the first Kentucky Derby, in 1875 at the age of 14. Over the next 75 years, he served as a pioneer and innovator of horse racing at the iconic Churchill Downs Racetrack and his impact would change the landscape of the Kentucky Derby forever. Winn's passion for Churchill Downs is evident in the many traditions that we still hold dear today: the design of the coveted Derby Trophy, the official Mint Julep glass, the garland of roses, the singing of “My Old Kentucky Home” during the post parade and the pari-mutuel wagering system just to name a few. Matt Winn's Steakhouse pays homage to the legacy of Colonel Winn. Oh, if these walls could talk… Millionaires Row, the fabled Room 20 – Colonel Winn's private nook, Derby history – rich with lure and tall tales… to new beginnings forging new traditions.

Welcome to January 13th, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate sticky stories and a man who topped the charts.  We see them every day, but have you ever paid attention to the stickers on many fruits and vegetables? These are known as PLUs, or "price look up" labels, and they're the same everywhere around the world. So if you buy a banana in Germany the code on it will be identical to one you buy in Minnesota. These stickers also have a story to tell: If a fruit has been grown with pesticides, the 4-digit code starts with a 3 or 4. If it's GMO, the code is 5 digits and starts with an 8. And if the produce is organic, there's a 5-digit code that starts with a 9. A lot of info for such a small item, right? And here's a tip for celebrating National Sticker Day, if you can't remove that sticker from your apple, use a piece of tape to get it off more easily. One of the greatest songwriters in American history was born on July 4th, 1826, which seems only fitting. Over a century before Elvis Presley or The Beatles were topping the charts, Stephen Foster was making his indelible mark on American culture. While his name may not be instantly recognizable, his songs certainly are. In 1847, the song Oh Susanna became his first big hit and catapulted him to fame. It became even more popular when the miners in the California gold rush adopted it as an anthem. Later, songs like Camptown Races, Beautiful Dreamer, and My Old Kentucky Home cemented his place in the pantheon of American music. On Stephen Foster Memorial Day, we celebrate the man who created hits that have stood the test of time. I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil. Therefore now, O Lord, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live. (Jonah 4:2-3) 35 I was standing not long ago at My Old Kentucky Home. I was born not far from that, and I had my hand laying on the desk like that. The—the inspiration come to Stephen Foster where he wrote Old Kentucky Home. I seen his picture, and the Angel that was supposed to have touched him and give him his inspiration and so forth. And after the guide had went through, I was setting alone, and I thought, “Mr. Foster, you had it in the head not in the heart.” Cause every time he'd write, get inspiration, write a song, he'd go off and get on a drunk afterwards. Then finally, you know how he ended his life after getting up in that inspiration: he come back down, called a servant, took a razor and committed suicide; Stephen Foster's end. 36 I thought of William Cowper, you've heard of him, that wrote that famous hymn: There is a fountain filled with blood, Dawn from Emmanuel's veins, When sinners plunge beneath the flood, Lose all their guilty stain. 37 A few… About two to three years ago, I stood by his grave in England; read his history there. And William Cowper after writing that song, when he was up in that inspiration writing; he was considered a neurotic, and when he come out of that inspiration, he got a cab and tried to find the river to commit suicide. Didn't know where he was at, what he was doing or nothing. See? He'd been up somewhere. 38 Look that's—that's poets. Look at prophet: Look at Jonah when he was on his road to Nineveh and taken a boat to Tarshish, and he… God… He disobeyed God, and he was throwed out of the ship and a whale swallowed him, and—and he was brought back to Nineveh, and he gave his prophecy, so much, with a city the size of St. Louis, Missouri, over a million population. Some of them didn't even know right and left hand. But that prophet walked the streets screaming his prophecy like that until the people repented in such a way they put sackcloth on their animals. 39 And then when the inspiration left him, he set under a little gourd tree and prayed God would take his life. Is that right? See, you don't understand it. He was up somewhere, and while the inspiration was on him, all right, but when it leaves him then what? See? 40 Look at—look at Elijah, the prophet, who stood on Mount Carmel that day and called Fire out of Heaven, called rain out of heaven at the same day, and then run out into the wilderness after the inspiration left him at the threat of Jezebel. Run out into the wilderness and wandered around out there in the wilderness for forty days and nights, and God found him. He'd crawled back in a cave somewhere. That right? See? 41 No need of trying to explain it. It's just a life alone. See? When you're in there, it isn't bad, when you're out; but it's coming between that. See? And you're just, you don't know where you're at and what you're doing. What does it speak? It speaks one thing. Brother, there's a Land beyond the river. We reach up into It there somehow. I don't know. I can't explain it. But I know some glorious day, when I come to the end of my journey, which I've got to some of these days, I suppose, as an old man, I hope to be, if Jesus tarries. 53-1129a - "The Faith That Was Once Delivered To The Saints" Rev.

If you live in Kentucky, it is hard to avoid hearing the state song, My Old Kentucky Home. But it is a song with a lot of historical baggage relating to the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow in Kentucky. Our guest, historian Emily Bingham, will help us unpack that baggage. She is the author of an upcoming book about the song, Singing About Slavery: “My Old Kentucky Home.”

Enough already!   I have heard so much sub-par bluegrass singing over the years--not from the pros like IIIrd Tyme Out and Doyle Lawson--but just in general. Some pretty lame singing is often the norm with bluegrass jams and SOME bands I have heard.   All I have to say is "tighten up" and take a hint from my closing outro music by Jackson, my son, and the Voices of the Valley Choir. It's not bluegrass but IT IS a lesson is not being a flipping slouch!   See ya next week.   This podcast is dedicated to my friend Bob Putnam. I love you Bob.

Yo, what up race cars! This week’s special guest Dave Holmes drops by to tell everyone to cut the shit and stop being racist. Dave & Andrew discuss dating outside of your own race, figure out exactly what oriental flavor is, and talk about culture forcing cartoonish behavior from everyone in movies. They also break down why a caller’s co-worker is straight up racist, call racist on the song “My Old Kentucky Home,” and ask why anything that can potentially help society is given a shitty nickname. Plus, Dave explains “Up the Butt Bob” to Andrew, bridges the gap between all Americans, and fixes racism. Call 323-389 RACE to leave a question and possibly have someone make fun of you on the podcast. Peace.

In releasing his latest album, Two Lane Town, JD Shelburne feels he has recorded the album that could take him to a whole new level. “I’ve been working really hard on this album. I think it is my best collection of songs that I’ve released thus far,” he says of his fourth project. He says that he’s definitely learned a lot since he released his first disc that was self-titled, back in 2012. “It’s all about writing and recording great songs,” he says. “It all boils down to just a great lyric. I try to write/record songs that I can relate to, ones that are catchy and have a great melody that I feel my fans can relate.” Of the tracks from the new album, JD says there’s one in particular that has a special place in his heart. “I co-wrote a song on the record called ‘Born For This.’ It’s the first song on the record, and it talks about picking up guitar and adapting to a new venture in life while attending college and just running with it – I was nineteen when my grandmother passed away. My life turned around in an instant when I found that guitar after her death. I didn’t realize until early in college that music was my true passion in life. I had played three different sports growing up, and just led the simple small-town life. I picked up the guitar, and my life hasn’t been the same since. It’s kind of the title track of my life. When I was about to finish college, there was a point when I realized I was about to be an adult and wondered what I was going to do with my life.  Where I was going to go? I honestly felt like I was born to play music and entertain people. It was just something that I gravitated towards naturally. Nashville, Tennessee was my next destination and I haven’t looked back since.” J.D began that gravitation while growing up on a tobacco farm in Taylorsville, KY, a tiny town southeast of the Ohio River near Louisville KY. At age 19, he found a guitar after the death of his grandmother and began learning to play and sing on his own. By his sophomore year of college, he had found a few gigs at some local bars in the Louisville/Lexington, KY area and developed a fan-base that eventually landed him on some of the biggest stages in the business, opening for some of the nation’s hottest stars. Eventually, Shelburne was adding original songs into the set mix, in addition to producing songs of his own material. In 2002, Kentucky fell in love at first sight with Shelburne, then a college student and a small-town kid with a wide smile, natural singing voice and a love of faith, family and his hometown of Taylorsville, KY. But that small-town image is merely a fond memory now that he has moved on to Nashville down the path to music stardom. Now find him soaking up the music scene, touring cities, building a fan-base and celebrating a decade of success playing venues all across the southeast trying to get his big break. Today he’s among the most hardworking and relevant country singers in the business. They say Nashville doesn’t work that way anymore – that talented musicians with very few connections don’t stand a chance. But Shelburne proved that Music City’s engine still runs off of talent and persistent driven antics. Critics find him credible. Fans pack his shows. Venues strive to book him. There are very few new artists recording songs today about whom that can be said. During his whirlwind career explosion, he has performed with over 50 national acts ranging from stars such as Montgomery Gentry, Craig Morgan, Jamey Johnson, Kellie Pickler, Steve Wariner to Clay Walker and Johnny Lee, performed at some of the region’s most famous venues such as the Historic Ryman Auditorium, Rupp Arena, Murphy Center, KFC Yum Center, Freedom Hall, Churchill Downs and Old Cardinal Stadium which recently drew the Kentucky State Fair’s largest crowd of the concert series. JD performed “God Bless America” prior to the 2016 Quaker State 400 NASCAR race at Kentucky Speedway to over 100,000 attendees. In September 2017, JD made his NBC Network Television Debut performing the National Anthem at the NASCAR XS Myrtle Beach 300! He has also been featured in Country Weekly Magazine, Kentucky Alumni Magazine, Kentucky Monthly Magazine amongst many other national publications including the Huffington Post. His debut music video “Farmboy” gained him thousands of new fans by airing on the TNN Top Ten Countdown nationwide on Heartland TV network and ZUUS Country Network. In 2015, he made his Nationwide debut on GAC – Great American Country Network and also CMT.com in October with his second music video entitled “Hometown” written about the demise of his small town. On October 21, 2015, JD debuted as #1 trending artist on CMT.com edging out Taylor Swift, Luke Bryan, and Jason Aldean! He has performed over 2,000 concerts all over the southeast as well as over 300 festivals. JD’s outfits have been featured on display at the Kentucky Derby Museum at Historic Churchill Downs from his appearances at the Kentucky Derby. In 2016, he was invited to perform in the Kentucky State Capitol for the State Senate as well as the House of Representatives where he performed his own rendition of “My Old Kentucky Home” for both parties. JD was named an Honorable Kentucky Colonel and was also presented the honor of “Admiral” by the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Also, in 2016, the University of Kentucky’s College of Communication and Information named JD their 2016 Most Outstanding Alumnus! On September 18, 2018, he made his World Premiere on CMT! In June 2017, Shelburne launched his world premiere official music video for “Better Man” that was filmed in Midway/ Millville, KY. The music video made its Network Television Debut on Great American Country (GAC) on June 23, 2017, and is currently in Nationwide rotation. At the 2017 Kentucky Derby, Shelburne was a guest chef of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives host Guy Fieri at his restaurant alongside Guy, Travis Tritt and NFL Legend Jerry Rice! Shelburne, most recently reached #29 on the Music Row chart with his debut single of “One Less Girl”. The single lead him to features on CMT and reaching over 120,000 views online! His follow-up single “She Keeps Me Up Nights” will impact radio this summer and has already reached #6 on the CMT 12-Pack Countdown! JD also has performed at several prestigious nationwide events: NBA Basketball Games, Guaranteed Rate Field for the Chicago White Sox, Suntrust Park for the Atlanta Braves, The Kentucky Derby, Unbridled Eve Derby Gala, Barnstable Brown Derby Gala, events for Jim Beam Brands and Four Roses Bourbon, NCAA Division I College Football/Basketball Games, The National FFA Organization National Convention, Omni Hotels & Resorts, Marriott Hotel Brands, NASCAR Racing Events, Minor League Baseball Games, Dollar General NASCAR Racing Team Event, CMA Music Festival, the NCAA Women’s Final Four, SEC Men’s Basketball Tournament and more! As you can imagine, the road is a place where he loves to be. “I rarely take days off. I performed 230 tour dates last year, and in 2016, I performed 246. I have always taken nearly every opportunity given to me that is within a reasonable distance. I have a relative in the family that was a Country artist back in the 1970s, and his name was Guy Shannon. He had a couple of charted singles and played the Opry several times. He told me before I moved to Nashville, ‘You’ll never get discovered in a basement. Anytime you can get a gig somewhere, take it and run with it. I have taken that advice and used it tremendously. I play shows just about everywhere. I’ve been in the business ten years, and I’m still hungry,” he says eagerly J.D. has high hopes and expectations for the new music. “I want to try to get on a national tour and spread my music and my name to places I’ve never played. I think I’ve got some great songs on this record, and I think so many fans will relate and be drawn to this new album. I still have a lot of ground to cover and I don’t plan on slowing down anytime soon.”

** Rebroadcast from 07.03.18** Joined today, live from Belmont Park, with the voice of the Triple Crown, the legendary Larry Collmus. Larry talks about how he always dreamed of being the voice of horse racing since he was a teenager in Maryland, how he climbed the ranks calling races all over the country and how a random call from a 212 phone number in 2011 changed Larry’s life. We hear about Larry’s first time calling the Kentucky Derby, from his wobbly jello legs to him not being able to listen to “My Old Kentucky Home”. He tells us about all the preparation that goes into calling a race, from his flash cards to studying the night before the races. We go down the emotional road of finally calling a triple crown winning race with American Pharoah and then 3 years later with Justify. From his summers in Saratoga to drunk texting one of the most famous horse trainers in the world, Larry lives up to his reputation as a great announcer and amazing storyteller.

Introduction When I was in grade school my classmates and I sang "Old Folks at Home" (also known as "Swanee River"; that’s how I knew it.) Swanee River is a minstrel song written by Stephen Foster in 1851. Since 1935 it has been the official state song of Florida, although in 2008 the original lyrics were revised. Here is the chorus from this 1851 song: “All de world am sad and dreary, Eb-rywhere I roam; Oh, darkeys, how my heart grows weary, Far from de old folks at home!” Stephen Foster, is known as “The Father of American Music” because of the many lyrical and extremely popular songs he wrote, including "Camptown Races", "My Old Kentucky Home", "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair", and "Beautiful Dreamer". Foster used the Negro dialect of the day for the lyrics. Should a song like this be sung today? No. Should we rip songs like this and the people who wrote and performed them from our history books, to be replaced by accusations of hate and racism? How about people like Robert E. Lee and Kate Smith? No. Not at all. Should we know and learn from our history--all of it? Yes. Of course. And that’s the topic of today’s 10-minute podcast. Continuing Let’s start the discussion by saying that we cannot learn from history if we do not understand it. Insert your favorite quote about learning from history here. That part is clear on its face, yes? And if we distort and twist that history before erasing it, things get even worse. Here is today’s Key Point. And, yes, we are getting to it early. We need to know, to really get it, that people like Stephen Foster, Robert E. Lee and Kate Smith are not hard-core Nazis, KKK riders or even sad little David Duke. They are ordinary people, like you and me. The lesson we need to learn is how to be sufficiently educated, aware and caring to keep evolving as individuals and as a society. We need to be continually evolving and constantly improving. Tearing down statues and reputations while rewriting history books in an effort to make yesterday look like we think it should have been make that learning and evolving impossible. All of us, including the “tear it down” advocates, need to remember that the learning and evolving needs to continue forever. What we do today will be judged through the lens of history tomorrow. And don’t we want future generations to be learning and improving rather than accusing and tearing down the history we create? I hold Robert E. Lee accountable for most of the death and destruction in the Civil War, a war that killed more Americans than all of our other wars put together. General Lee was asked by Abraham Lincoln to head the Union Army, but Lee refused, and proved the wisdom of Lincoln’s request by brilliantly leading the Confederates to victory after victory over the superior but poorly led Union forces. Lee’s mistake was in seeing his loyalty to his state, Virginia, as more important than his loyalty to the United states. At the end of the war, Lee petitioned to have his citizenship restored. Because of a clerical error, it never happened. Kate Smith, had a radio, television, and recording career spanning five decades, which reached its pinnacle in the 1940s. Smith became known as “The Songbird of the South” after her enduring popularity during World War II. Later, sports teams including the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Yankees featured her. I remember how the Flyers thought that having her sing a ringing rendition of “God Bless America” before games was a lucky charm. Ms. Smith was the featured performer in tours that raised the equivalent of $10B (billion) in today’s dollars to fight Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in WWII. Then came the news of her 1931 recordings of "That's Why Darkies Were Born" and "Pickaninny Heaven." Both songs contained clearly racist lyrics. And they were 2 of 3,000 songs she recorded. At the same time, Smith was noted for having African-American musicians and entertainers on her radio show in ...

The Life and Songs of Stephen Foster offers an engaging reassessment of the life, politics, and legacy of the misunderstood father of American music. Once revered the world over, Foster’s plantation songs, like “Old Folks at Home” and “My Old Kentucky Home,” fell from grace in the wake of the Civil Rights Movement due to their controversial lyrics. Foster embraced the minstrel tradition for a brief time, refining it and infusing his songs with sympathy for slaves, before abandoning the genre for respectable parlor music. The youngest child in a large family, he grew up in the shadows of a successful older brother and his president brother-in-law, James Buchanan, and walked a fine line between the family’s conservative politics and his own pro-Lincoln sentiments. Foster lived most of his life just outside of industrial, smoke-filled Pittsburgh and wrote songs set in a pastoral South—unsullied by the grime of industry but tarnished by the injustice of slavery. JoAnne O’Connell has a background in history and classical vocal music. She earned her PhD at the University of Pittsburgh where she began researching her revisionist biography of the Pittsburgh born composer Stephen Collins Foster. She has taught at colleges and universities in Pennsylvania and Maryland, and currently spends her time researching and writing. Description courtesy of Rowman & Littlefield.

We begin with “My Old Kentucky Home” by 19th century songwriter Stephen Foster, performed by Paul Robeson. Sung like a love song to the state of Kentucky by the Derby crowd at Churchill Downs, its real historical meaning is bleaker. The lyrics portray heartbreak: A man, sold down the river to work at a sugar …

Beethoven: String Trio in G Major, Op. 9, No. 1Ives: Piano TrioToday we focus on significant trios, from the old and new worlds. A relatively early trio, Beethoven’s String Trio in G Major, may have been an experiment with some of the ideas he would later bring to the symphonic realm. Beethoven plays with form in the movements, surprising listeners with stop-and-start repeats in the scherzo and vividly contrasting themes in the final movement. Charles Ives’ Piano Trio, completed in 1911, went unperformed for years, finally unearthed in 1948 by a music faculty trio in Ohio. In typical Ives fashion, snippets of a number of folk and popular songs interject, particularly in the scherzo. Listen for, among others, "My Old Kentucky Home," "Sailor's Hornpipe," "and "Long, Long Ago.”

The three-story home, constructed between 1812 and 1818 and initially given the name "Federal Hill" by Judge John Rowan, became Kentucky's first historic shrine on July 4th, 1923. The Rowan family had lived in the mansion and farm in Nelson County, close to Bardstown, for three generations spanning 120 years. The final member of the Rowan family, Madge Rowan Frost, sold the 235 acres and family home to the Commonwealth of Kentucky in 1922.Support this podcast: https://linktr.ee/shelbygreenmedia
