whatever the truth and beauty and gentle understanding may be found in the songs I wrote I take no credit for this knowledge of life was imparted to me from the heart and the lips of the one in all the world I had loved best if in the heart of her youngest son Eliza Clayton Foster occupied a greater Niche than most men reserve for their marital parent it was only because no man ever had a finer mother [Music] surely she must be quietly waiting somewhere peacefully dreaming the hours away until that time when she again will be circled by The Smiling Faces of her beloved and joined in the laughter of her [Music] children it was my mother who gave me what early musical training I received from the very beginning Melodies coming from I knew not where filled my head and as soon as I had
