He wrote so many great iconic songs it's hard to think of American music without thinking of Stephen Collins Foster!

Rarely hear Steven Foster songs anymore. An important part of our history I hope doesn't disappear forever.

Stephen Fosters sister married James Buchanan's brother, John, and when Foster came up to visit his sister in Pennsylvania, he would play his songs for their guests.

Everytime I heard his songs I just assumed it was related to the South. Never guess he came from Pennsylvania.
