Transcribed by Fritz Kreisler
Though he had not yet visited the Suwannee river, (which begins in south Georgia extends through northern Florida,) it became the inspiration for one of the best known songs of American songwriter Stephen Foster, born on the fiftieth anniversary of America’s independence.

Done so very nicely, thanks.
I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, as was Stephen Foster. I love his songs, many of them sentimental. In the 50's, in grade school, our music teacher loved Foster. She would play his songs on the piano and we would sing to them.
@harrybarry2291 Thank you for sharing this.
Just found your site on CZcams. Great Stephen Foster work! Exquisite.
A slew of other oldies, which sorely need your treatment, gentlemen, are: "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes," "Home, Sweet Home," "Flow Gently, Sweet Afton," "Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming," "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," "Long, Long Ago," "On the Banks of the Wabash," "Missouri Waltz," "All the Things You Are," "Because," "Brahms' Lullaby," "Home on the Range," "Shenandoah," "Danny Boy," "My Old Kentucky Home," "Believe Me if All Those Endearing Young Charms," "Sweet Genevieve," to name but a few of my favorites. Hope you can perform these on your Channel.
Thank you for your kind words and wonderful suggestions for future recordings!
my favorite eidtion
Thank you both for this remarkable rendering of Swanee River. I don’t know the story behind the words and music as I have only known it as a jolly rumpty tumpty song and never as the expressive interpretation you both gave to it. I must research the background story.which must surely have a melancholy part to it matching your mood. Remarkable! Ronald from Wales.
