Thirty-eight Cents….new/old/scratch/demo/original

A couple years ago I wrote the lyrics to a song about Stephen Foster, the first American songwriter, who died in a hotel room in New York, alone, with only 38 cents in his pocket. Arch Larizza set the lyrics to music. This is a rather rough scratch version with just my vocal and ukulele.
