Tennessee Arts Commission
Chip Bailey, a Teaching Artist with the Tennessee Arts Commission, will present a workshop on the life and music of Stephen Collins Foster at the Historic Ramsey House. His tragic life and glorious music will be examined. Stephen Foster (1826-1864) was America’s first professional songwriter. He composed 200 songs in his short lifetime including such hits as “Oh! Susanna”, “Camptown Races” and “My Old Kentucky Home, Good Night”. This class will contain mini-lectures, recordings, live musical instrument demonstrations and group discussions. Sing along if you wish!
