This is really just a re-fresh. Personal opinion: I think (I) need some more info here. Exactly what period? I know there was/is a lot of "fakey" stuff out there, such as the vaudeville black face, and possibly a lot of cross cultural stuff, but which started where? Shotnen' (Shortening)Bread? Jump Da Broom? S. Foster is probably right out (unless he borrowed from the black tradition as readily as he did the Irish), and I think Golden Slippers is a Blackface vaudeville tune, not that it is a PlayParty tune anyway.

ALL the PlayParty tunes/songs/games that I know are white and from the American Reveloutinary period, or just after.

HELP!!
