Very very good!! I thought Angelina the Baker was classified as traditional, author unknown. I was wrong and you are right. I looked it up and found it to be by Stephen Foster for the Christy Minstrels and published in 1850, just as you said. Thanks for sharing your music and knowledge!
The instrumental version Of Angelina Baker, published by John A. Lomax under the title "Angelina the Baker" is a popular fiddle or banjo tune, and differs from the Stephen Foster melody. It is part of the old time fiddle canon, but is also played by bluegrass musicians. Below is the tune sung by the Dry Branch Fire Squad, one of the best versions out there. ruclips.net/video/Dp_WQTauIfQ/видео.html
