But Bernard M Baruch in his autobiography My Own Story, relates how his father, a former surgeon in the Confederate army, would at the sound of the tune "Dixie" jump up and give the rebel yell, no matter where he was: "As soon as the tune started Mother knew what was coming and so did we boys.  Mother would catch him by the coattails and plead, 'Shush, Doctor, shush.'  But it never did any good.  I have seen Father, ordinarily a model of reserve and dignity, leap up in the Metropolitan Opera House and let loose that piercing yell."
