the streaming audio version of My Old Kentucky Home by Stephen Foster.
The
song was first used in 1921 on Derby Day
and has since become a tradition. The
Courier-Journal in their May 8, 1921 edition
reported, "To the strains of "My Old
Kentucky
Home" Kentuckians gave vent their delight.
For Kentucky triumphed in the Derby."
