A #dailydose from The Stephen Foster Story ( @stephenfosterky ) to help raise the #awareness of my fellow #kentuckians or even my fellow #theatrelovers to use the online form to contact #Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin and urge the state to take responsibility for the Amphitheatre so that the 60th Anniversary Season of The Stephen Foster Story can go on as planned. This is a state-owned property that has sadly been neglected for years despite outreach by the performing arts community that utilizes it. If we let the state ignore the arts community, who’s to say what will come next.

I don't always play Stephen Foster, but when I do, I use the 1970s synthesizer setting. "Beautiful Dreamer" is a hauntingly beautiful song in 9/8 time with two sharps. It's a good thing I know the tune, so I can sort of ignore the mechanics of the sheet music. This way I can concentrate on getting my improvisational left had to play something that sounds good while my brain reads the music and instructs my the right hand to play the melody. My Mom gave me this Stephen Foster song book from the 1940s many years ago when I was playing my mountain dulcimer regularly. Unfortunately, Foster's key signatures are too complicated for that primitive instrument because they were written for piano. Mom loved Foster's songs perhaps because she enjoyed singing along. When we were children, the family visited "My Old Kentucky Home," the plantation where Foster wrote that song and many others. We saw the opulent room with the velvet curtains and his classic baby grand piano with the mother of pearl keys. We saw how the slave owners lived but not how the slaves lived. Foster's songs from the mid 1800s chronicle life in the American South from the white perspective. This book itself is time capsule, with some really embarrassing illustrations depicting happy slaves. SMH. I hope we have progressed since then. #stephenfoster #americanstyle #americana #americanmusician #myoldkentuckyhome (at Tucson, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5kxAs4hVuc/?igshid=upust7pt3b2e

As my finger recuperates- here’s a tune from last year (!) that I created an arrangement for- and haven’t played since! Stephen Fosters Hard Times! Now I have to transcribe myself...to remember what I was doing! #hardtimes #stephenfoster #whatthehellwasthat #canigobackintime #folk #folkguitar #baltimore #thebmorecreatives #slideguitar #blues #roots #rootsmusician #arrangement https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Xnmh5nOxw/?igshid=3jg05y56tf2d
