How Dan Emmett wrote pixie"

There have been many stories told about
the way in which DAN Emmett, the
bld-time minstrel, came to write Dixie a"
The famous air was first played by q
st. Paul orchestra, the leader Of which.
Mr.. Munger. is still alive. "Dixie" was
written in 1858. while Emmett was on a
visit to his brother. the Hon. Lafayette
Emmett, at that time a justice Of the
supreme court Of Minnesota. During his
stay Emmett one day attended a prac-
tice meeting Of the Munger orchestra.
He had the manuscript of Dixie" with
him, and for the benefit Of the musicians
played 1t on violin. Before Emmett
left st. Paul Dixie was played by the
MungSE orchestra at the old Mazurka
Hall. IT made an immediate hit and was
soon whistled and sung all over Gown
Emmett got the idea Of the words from
a popular resort on the Virginia PENN
sula, kept by a man named Dixie or
Dixey. The place was particularly In
favor with actors and other show people
from New York. and after returning from
a visit they were accustomed to say. 81
wish I was at DixIe's," or 81 wish I was
in Dixie's land" Emmett used similar
words in his song, and they were taken
to apply to the South generally.
