<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #073763;">Do you know who Stephen Foster was? Didn’t think so, but being the 4th of July we thought we would share this factoid:</span><br style="color: #073763;"><br style="color: #073763;"><span style="color: #073763;">Foster was born on July 4th, 1927 and went on to compose “Oh Susanna”, “My Old Kentucky Home”, “Beautiful Dreamer”, “I Dream of Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair” - some of America’s most beloved folk songs - for which he was paid $100 dollars and never saw profits due to poor copyright and composer royalty rights. Sure would have been rich today, so I guess we’ve come a long way.</span></span><br>

to triumph over obstacles, as Carol Joynt discovered when she
interviewed him during her Q&A Café lunchtime series at the
Georgetown Ritz Carlton.</span><br>
