The Civil War was of such serious import with far reaching ramifications into today's history making. I had a muddled remembrance of the Dixie story, only so far as a minstrel show was involved. You've given it considerable light and charm in re-telling the story. Thanks, Arletta Janet and Erwin,

I had never heard this story, although I and countless others are very familiar with the song. So many of our songs, phrases, etc. have their roots in obscurity. Thanks to you and your dad for this lesson in history. Eunice Boeve Janet,
