Frank Kidson, in the new edition of Grove's
Dictionary of Music and Musicians, says: "The
modern 'coon' or 'plantation' songs and the popu-

negro songs, which * * * are probably to be
regarded as European in melodic origin, trans-
lated into rhythms that have been handed down
from the generations of slaves who actually came
from Africa."
