Beautiful Young Performers from Stephen Foster at Bardstown, Kentucky


These two beautiful young women roamed the streets of Bardstown, Kentucky not long ago to promote a summer production of Stephen Foster, the popular song writer of the 1800's. How beautiful they were. The musical performance was nice, too. Though interesting: very few really young people there. Mostly older, middle-aged.
To jog your memory, he is best known for his songs that continue to be heard today: "Oh! Susanna," "Jeanie With the Light Brown Hair," "My Old Kentucky Home," "Old Folks at Home" (better known as "Swanee River," "Camptown Races," and "Beautiful Dreamer." I hope that wherever he is he can know people still enjoy what he did.
