I find this collection of music to be particularly lovely and enjoyable. It is written for voice and piano accompaniment. The sheet music consists of the Stephen Foster originals. (So no guitar chords.) And I have to say, I find the versions to be particularly lovely. "Beautiful Dreamer" has the prettiest piano accompaniment to it that I've seen. And even "Oh Susanna" is charming. The accompaniment only requires modest piano accomplishment and the songs are easily sung, so no one needs to be overwhelmed. In all the music is very light and pretty. I do recommend it! It's perfect for evenings at home or light entertaining.

I hoped chords were included - and they were! When you sell music-books online it is an important information!

Being loyal to my state, I love its song, which was written by Foster. "Old Folks at Home" is the song of my home state, Florida. This song makes me feel proud of where I come from. Foster may give you a good feeling with his other songs as well. I am an old Southerner and a good ol boy. I recognize good ol books. This is one of em.
