Fourth of July Trivia
Everybody knows that Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on July 4, 1826 -- the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Adams' last words were, "Thomas Jefferson still survives." Unfortunately, Jefferson had died earlier that day.
But can you tell me what famous American composer was born on the very same day?
I'll insert the answer into another post today.
Stephen Foster???
