Favorite Song of President Lincoln
MUSIC
may be a surprise / Honest Abe loved "Dixie" = "Dixie's Land" or "I Wish I Was in Dixie"
odd selection / it was the national anthem for the Confederacy - together with "The Bonnie Blue Flag" and "God Save the South"
Lincoln had been quoted as saying, 'I have always thought "Dixie" one of the best tunes I have ever heard.'
