Are you watching the Derby? Be sure to sing along with "My Old KY Home!"

By Dr. Alice Cash on May 3, 2008 in Music Healing

The KY Derby will be run at 6:05 EDT today! It’s a beautiful day here in Louisville and the favorites include Big Brown, Pyro and Colonel John.

I want you to watch the crowd as they pan across faces of people from all over the world singing together “My Old KY Home.” There something about this beautiful melody from Stephen Foster that just touches the heart of everyone and makes them feel overwhelmed with love for their fellow man (and woman) on this beautiful day. For two minutes everyone has a dream that their turn will come today! It’s just magical…do not miss it!

I only wish the TV cameras would focus more on the horses while they sing “My Old Kentucky Home.”

Great race but terribly sad ending.

Good advice. I know people who watch the Derby every year just to hear the crowd sing the song.
