5.0 out of 5 stars It was before Internet !, November 16, 2000
By Paul Amblard (Grenoble France) - See all my reviews
I bought "American Favorite Ballads" in 1967, at the same time that my first banjo. It was the first money I got by working...

Sure the book is great ! I am very happy that it remains in print.

Use it, play music, sing... And do not look at Internet !!

5.0 out of 5 stars Many Songs To Fit The Range Of Your Voice, Or Voices, May 26, 2008
By Aung Htun "www.amazon.com/shops/ahtun" (1022 1/2 Stophlet St. Fort Wayne IN 46802-4318) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"..... Now, if you love one of these songs, you can make it your own by singing it, through the years it will become part of your life as little by little you change the tune in subtle ways, or add or subtract verses.
This is what I have done.
As a matter of fact, without a certain amount of creative rearranging some of the songs in this book will be impossible to sing.
For example, you will probably have to adjust the pitch of MANY SONGS TO FIT THE RANGE OF YOUR VOICE, OR VOICES....."
[from the book of the introduction by Peter Seeger, Dutchess Junction, Beacon, N.Y., Dec. 1960]
