Stephen Foster

"Who the heck is Stephen Foster? Why do you think I should care?  Why am I cold? My hip hurts, why?"

Okay, kids, today we're definitely going old school.  Basically what I'm doing today is I'm going to recommend a songwriter, and not a band or singer.  Why?  Because the guy was dead before the end of the Civil War.  So he doesn't really have a record you can buy.
