John Short / Shorty Foster was the first American to make a living from songwriting. "Hard Times" was a mega-hit twice, first during a financial depression, then at the end of the Civil War.

Jason Dickinson

Period instrument(s)? How old is this baritone? But really, for me, an exemplary performance. Thank you.

Gabriel Salmon

Wow. This baritone's voice is extraordinary. I'll have to listen to more of his work.

Bergisch Platt

Thanks for sharing! This song is surely one of the all-time-stars.

In 1864, Stephen Foster, one of the first composers of pop music, died in a New York City hospital after falling over a wash basin in a drunken stupor. In his pocket when he died was the manuscript for what became one of his most famous songs, “Beautiful Dreamer.” Many of his songs — including “Oh! Susanna,” “Camptown Races” and “Old Black Joe” — are written in black dialect. Foster gained much of his knowledge of blacks through his early experience in travelling minstrel shows. But he became embarrassed by his songs, primarily because of a contemporary review which called them “only skin deep, hummed and whistled without musical emotion.” Stephen Foster also had little aptitude for business. Extreme poverty, coupled with excessive drinking, ruined his last years.
