Well, last winter while visiting my parents, my step mother informed me that the
community choir she sings with had to strike "Old Black Joe" from their program,
which was a concert of Stephen Foster songs.

As for me, the only thing I've been a little reluctant to play over in Israel
lately is "The Sheik of Araby".

OK, I'll go back to my room now.
