We surly love to hear you John, not many put nearly as much heart and passion into the songs as you do. I hope you keep on playing as long as you like doing it. Your picture is going to be right up there with Ol' Emmet Lundy and the rest someday. God bless you and your family.
John and Ida Specker 🥁. I love you Music so much big John I appreciate you big-time, you’ve ruined me up you probably helped steer me right somehow :-) me, Alex, Donald, Specker I love that whole family you guys were so good to me and of course Ethel mama Specker. She’s the reason why in New York City I’m a rosarian. I remember her gargling. I remember it well, I remember how roses and how they smell. John put that together for your mom make it a song.🎼🎵
I am British and support Gen. Pakenham and his valiant British troops!!!!! Nevertheless, sir, I think your and your daughter's performance of this song is quite stirring, and I like it.

Actually, it celebrates the victory of Andrew Jackson and his troops over the Brits in the war of 1812. It's why Jackson's name is all over New Orleans and Louisiana more broadly.

What is this song about (I m not american)?
I guess a light hearted celebration of the Yankees defeat of the British in the war of independence. I'm Canadian.
