All of those wonderful, old favorites and more!,

This review is from: The American Song Treasury: 100 Favorites (Dover Song Collections) (Paperback)
When my little girl was born, I found myself trying to remember the words to all of the songs I used to sing with my family when I was growing up. My memory just couldn't come up with some (most!) of them, though. Fortunately, this book has them all: Sweet Betsey From Pike, Oh Susanna, I've Been Working on the Railroad, Bicycle Built for Two, She'll be Comin' Round the Mountain, and so many more. What's even better is that the book also contains standard sheet music with each song, plus guitar chords, plus a brief history of each song. A great find and one I'm so glad I bought!

This review is from: The American Song Treasury: 100 Favorites (Dover Song Collections) (Paperback)
This book was originally published in 1964 and includes some (now nostalgic) references to typing up and making carbon copies of lyrics and such. I don't mind that it hasn't been updated.
A great collection of songs with some nice historical background. Includes very simple piano arrangements with chords identified above the piano notation, along with diagrams for chords on the guitar. Some songs are followed by words for several verses. The emphasis seems to be on encouraging everyone to sing in unison. Those who want to sing a harmony part may need to invent their own. It's a fairly thick book. I wish it came in a sturdy spiral-bound version.

A true treasure,
By Masato Nishimori (Osugi, Ishikawa, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The American Song Treasury: 100 Favorites (Dover Song Collections) (Paperback)
I highly recommend this songbook, not only for the 100 wonderful songs, but also for the introduction to each song. Though each intro is brief, each tells a bit about the author or the song or the times in which it became popular. A great potpourri of Americana!
