Dan Emmett
Daniel Decatur "Dan" Emmett (October 29, 1815 – June 28, 1904) was an American songwriter, entertainer, and founder of the first troupe of the blackface minstrel tradition.
Biography
Of Irish ancestry, Dan Emmett was born in Mount Vernon, Ohio, then a frontier region. Growing up with little formal education, he learned popular tunes from his musical mother, and taught himself to play the fiddle. At age 13, he became an apprentice printer and enlisted in the United States Army. He became an expert fifer and drummer at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, and published his own Fifer’s and Drummer’s Guide in 1862 in cooperation with George G. Bruce. After receiving his discharge from the army on July 8, 1835, he joined a Cincinnati circus. In 1840–1842 he toured with Angevine and other circuses as a blackface banjoist and singer.
In association with Billy Whitlock, Dick Pelham, and Frank Brower, he organized the Virginia Minstrels, which made their first appearance before a paying audience at the Chatham Theatre in New York City in 1843.

De Boatman's Dance (1843, credited to Dan Emmett)
This is an example of the problematic genre of blackface minstrelsy in which white performers masqueraded as "Black" performers. Blackface minstrelsy was the most popular form of entertainment in the United States from the 1840s through the 1880s. White minstrel performers appropriated aspects of Black song and dance, and presented them in distorted ways that often promoted damaging stereotypes of Black people. In this example, the horrors of slavery are presented in an almost celebratory manner, as Black life under slavery is depicted in a party-like atmosphere.

It was sung by the Virginia Minstrels in New York a year later, with the song described: "Old Tar River--or the incidents attending a Coon Hunt." A member of the troupe, Frank Brower, was credited with introducing the playing of the bones onstage during a Fourth of July, 1841, performance in Lynchburg, Virginia, when he accompanied Dan Emmett in the then new song "Tar River"
lyrics:
Ole Tar River
way down yonder in North Carolina
on de banks of de ole tar river
walked straight there from alabama
for to see my old love hannah
coony and a possum fightin in a spring
fought all night until de very next day
when de day broke possum come from de hollar
that ole coon says i guess i done follered
they bit and gnashed to de top of de hill
gnashing and a thrashin both trying to kill
possum siezed coony by de tail
made him wish he was on a rail
hunter come along with his dog
possum cut from a hollow log
coony knows he saw dat man
up de tree he skampered and ran
ole dog watched him belt all around
he found the coon and barked him down
he pawed and gnawed and circled dat tree
ol coony says you cant catch me
now im a dying and i must leave you
and when im gone dont let it grieve you
first through the window then through de do'
lookin for to steal the banjo

Though this song has been claimed to have been written by several other people, Daniel Emmett is the recognized composer. Originally written as a minstrel song it became a rallying song for the south of which Emmett, a Unionist, lamented. This song is available on my CD 'My Grandfather's Clock which is available on iTunes at:https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/my-grandfathers-clock/id943157863 or hard copies at: tomroush.us

This is an example of the problematic genre of blackface minstrelsy in which white performers masqueraded as "Black" performers. Blackface minstrelsy was the most popular form of entertainment in the United States from the 1840s through the 1880s. White minstrel performers appropriated aspects of Black song and dance, and presented them in distorted ways that often promoted damaging stereotypes of Black people. In this example, the horrors of slavery are presented in an almost celebratory manner, as Black life under slavery is depicted in a party-like atmosphere.

This is probably a much older song than when we have actual written record of it, but it is reported to have been Sweeney's favorite song.
playing and knowing the origin of it; it seems that it was originally played on a 4 string banjo, as you dont really note the top string at all. That's just my mumbo jumbo, though.
"Mr. Sweeney in his favorite song of "Old Tar River, or the Serenade of My Lovely Dinah."
It was sung by the Virginia Minstrels in New York a year later, with the song described: "Old Tar River--or the incidents attending a Coon Hunt." A member of the troupe, Frank Brower, was credited with introducing the playing of the bones onstage during a Fourth of July, 1841, performance in Lynchburg, Virginia, when he accompanied Dan Emmett in the then new song "Tar River"
lyrics:
Ole Tar River
way down yonder in North Carolina
on de banks of de ole tar river
walked straight there from alabama
for to see my old love hannah
coony and a possum fightin in a spring
fought all night until de very next day
when de day broke possum come from de hollar
that ole coon says i guess i done follered
they bit and gnashed to de top of de hill
gnashing and a thrashin both trying to kill
possum siezed coony by de tail
made him wish he was on a rail
hunter come along with his dog
possum cut from a hollow log
coony knows he saw dat man
up de tree he skampered and ran
ole dog watched him belt all around
he found the coon and barked him down
he pawed and gnawed and circled dat tree
ol coony says you cant catch me
now im a dying and i must leave you
and when im gone dont let it grieve you
first through the window then through de do'
lookin for to steal the banjo
Dan Emmett
Daniel Decatur "Dan" Emmett (October 29, 1815 – June 28, 1904) was an American songwriter, entertainer, and founder of the first troupe of the blackface minstrel tradition.
Biography
Of Irish ancestry, Dan Emmett was born in Mount Vernon, Ohio, then a frontier region. Growing up with little formal education, he learned popular tunes from his musical mother, and taught himself to play the fiddle. At age 13, he became an apprentice printer and enlisted in the United States Army. He became an expert fifer and drummer at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, and published his own Fifer’s and Drummer’s Guide in 1862 in cooperation with George G. Bruce. After receiving his discharge from the army on July 8, 1835, he joined a Cincinnati circus. In 1840–1842 he toured with Angevine and other circuses as a blackface banjoist and singer.
In association with Billy Whitlock, Dick Pelham, and Frank Brower, he organized the Virginia Minstrels, which made their first appearance before a paying audience at the Chatham Theatre in New York City in 1843.

Secret Agent
by: AnvilYou make a living by being a spy
Up for hire as a private eye
Covert operation, tap a telephone
Hack into a hard drive, you're on your own
The fear of death is what keeps you alive
A deadly mission you must survive
You lurk in shadows, darkness a friend
The lies begin and never end
It's not for glamour and it's not for fame
You have a number, not a name
You take your chances out on a limb
You make your chances not on a whim
Secret agent, your law is a gun
Secret agent, you trust no one
Secret agent, a man in black
Secret agent, a gun at your back
Got to get away with what you can
Got to make a secret plan
Secret agent man!
Truth is out there, you know it's a lie
Trust no one, if you do you die
Government deployed, what's at stake?
Double agent out on the take
Charged with treason, secrets to sell
Signed in blood, a contract with hell
Followed orders, no questions asked
Suicide mission, could be your last
Secret agent, nothing to do
Secret agent, the cold war is through
Secret agent, it's espionage
