One has to wonder how much longer the singing of “My Old Kentucky Home” will occur at sporting events in the Bluegrass. Anything associated with slavery is a candidate for extinction, based on the current atmosphere surrounding racial issues.
The University of Louisville band, which has performed at the Kentucky Derby for a couple of decades, was still playing the music before UofL football games last season. Probably not going to happen this year, no matter how all the drama with Covid-19 pandemic pans out. Not that that would bother this Ohio-born observer all that much but the kids and grandchildren raised in Kentucky will miss the song.
