Thanks for those two American songs, Buffalo Gals and Red River Valley.  Quite different in tone. And speed!

Here is my entry.  The opera singer Thomas Hampson sings a song from the composer Stephen Foster, whose statue was removed in Pittsburgh for its offense to minorities.

Here’s another version from La Scala in 1981.

Thanks.

That’s a lovely version by Hampson.  With the mandolin in the background, it makes you feel like you’re in an Italian restaurant.
