Catching up, after the laptop debacle...I have more to say, but it goes toward WORK first.
Meanwhile, this is one of Beatrix Potter's 'sort-of-Peter Rabbit' illustrations. It's lovely.
Does the song's use in minstrel shows make it any less appealing? Or racist, because it was written by a "bigoted ex-Confederate soldier?
(Cruel to horses, apparently, because they're out in the cold, and "got upsot.")
(I guess I keep hearing White Christmas' "I'd rather see a minstrel show - than any other show I know..." A bunch of caricatures and stylized motifs, sure.)
