On today's episode, Jennie talks with Emily Bingham, author of My Old Kentucky Home: The Astonishing Life and Reckoning of an Iconic American Song. "My Old Kentucky Home" is one of Foster's travel songs. His music traveled further from home than the songwriter ever did, and the song has reverberated, becoming an essential part of institutions like the Kentucky Derby. Emily is a native of Louisville and a visiting professor at Bellarmine University. We discuss Emily's research on the Foster Hall Quartet, G.M. Robinson, E.W. Hammond, W.W. Wolfek, and C.E. Hicks. And of course, we amble in the Ohio River Valley, the conurbated region of Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio that both Emily and Stephen Foster called home.
The Foster Hall Collection holds a recording of the Quartet performing Foster’s “My Brudder Gum,” shared here in full with permission from the Center for American Music at The University of Pittsburgh.
