[78-L] Stephen Foster

[David Lennick]

That was always my impression. By the way, somewhere in the thousands of hours 
of quarter-track slow-speed half-mil tape recorded by the Lennick family in the 
60s is the audio from a Canadian TV panel show in which Charles Correll said 
that the voices on Amos 'n' Andy were "not necessarily Negroes, but merely 
Southerners". I kid you not. I'd love to find that tape, but the wording comes 
from a script I wrote in 1966 and I quoted him verbatim at the time.

So nyaa.

(Duck, Lenny!)
