@a376361b Hee Hee... I think the term you were looking for was a NORTH American. Mexico and all points south are STILL part of the America's BTW I AM a North American born and bred in Idaho. Heritage is the same as most, mixture of English, Italian, danish, Scottish, etc (that's why it's called "the melting pot") The fellow you are mocking is probably 100% Spanish. White DON'T make right!!

Hoyt was a real mans, man! I miss visiting he & the family @ X-mas & on my way to Idaho. He then lived on top of a mountain near Idylewild & Glide Oregon. R.I.P my friend. The Dobro Guy, Richard McEwen

Hoyt and John were such amazing talents and we are poorer for their passing. Rest well gentlemen and thank you for all you have left us!

@vulcan1429 Who cares, it's not like you're an American!

When I looked up the origin of this song!!! I was shocked!!! As a TExan I will never sing it again!!!

All Texans know it.



Beautiful, I'd give anything for a woman standing to Hoyt's right to look at me the she looks at him. He was a rich man to have such admiration. The song was written most likely during the Battle of San Jacinto in 1836 by a slave about a mulatto slave girl hence the word yellow and legend she seduced Gen Santa Ana and this distraction led to victory by Sam Houston's army at San Jancinto. A popular song among the Johnny Reb's and a part of the heritage of the south. Legend always trumps truth.
