About the Author
The many facets of Jerry Silverman's musical background and experience have combined to make him one of this country's most prolific authors of music books. It was his research for his master's thesis in musicology (on blues guitar technique) at New York University that launched his musical literary career. Since the publication of his first book, Folk Blues, in 1958, he has had more than 100 titles published, including method books on all levels for guitar, banjo, fiddle, and recorder, as well as American and international songbooks with piano and guitar accompaniment. In addition, Mr. Silverman maintains an active teaching and performing schedule.

This review is from: Mel Bay Presents Ballads and Songs of the Civil War (Paperback)
I've been enjoying this collection. It is different from other collections in that the pieces aren't published as they were originally. But the arrangements are still pleasant. My favorite thus far is the "Yellow Rose of Texas".
