David Speers of Madison, Wisconsin and Nancy Miller of St. Paul recently called upon the Lincoln Family at the new Lincoln Museum in Honest Abe’s hometown of Springfield, Illinois.
They had along The Rake’s October 2006 all-music issue, and it inspired some fairly solid verse. Writes Miller:
In these times of war and strife,
Lincoln led a similar life.
So we decided to stop and see
Just how this country came to be.
Here we are at the Springfield place,
Where Lincoln’s history can be traced.
What tunes today would Lincoln deem
Worthy of the local music scene?
