I have IraW. Ford's "Traditional Music of America", DeCapo Press, (subsidiary of Plenum Publishing Corp)
227 W. 17th St, New York, NY, 10011 The book was first published in 1940, and re-printed in 1978. Mr. Ford has some documentation problems, such as who, when, where, etc. but he collected a LOT of tunes, including PlayParty dances and tune. Listed are:
Down the Ohio
I Sent My Brown Jug..
Jim Along Jose
Make a Cake for Charley
Old Brass Wagon
Shoot the Buffalo
We'll All Go Down to Rouser's
Also included are lots of Children's Play songs........let me know if you need any of the above, and I will send/post.
