Thread Name: Req: Sing-along songs from the 20's & 30's
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Sing-a-long songs from the '20's &
Jody, you're so right. Most of us only know the chorus to so many of these old songs. I watch the lips of some of the residents and I see some of the verse lyrics sometimes, especially "You Are My Sunshine", but much more recognition of the choruses. I got "Home on the Range"(yeah, all 5 verses) from "The All-American Songbook" copyright 1942(cost 95c!!!) It's great for the lyrics and music, but no chords(my preferred way of learning a new tune, along with an audio recording of some type).That's why I'm looking at some of the MIDI sites, and will resort to Napster(just got White Cliffs of Dover from there). I'll post a list of the songs I now have, and if anyone's interested I can (in my rookie Cyber-way) send them along(lyrics & chords). I am in the second half of my personal century, and if I were in a nursing home right now, I'd want Neil Young, Jimmy Buffett, Don Henley, Beatles, etc. But that's all for another post & another time. Thanks again and "keep it in 'A' " as my jammin' buddy used to say. PBB
