Does anyone know who originally did "I'll Tell You What I Saw Last Night"? It sounds like something Blind Alfred Reed would've written

Thank you kindly, GM.
One might wonder why Geoff Lawes posted a link to the song index of Sing Out! Magazine. Since its beginning in 1950, Sing Out! has had words and music for several songs in each issue, always in a distinctive format. You'll notice the same format in the Oak Publications songbooks, and it was similar in the People's Songs Bulletin. Irwin Silber (1925-2010) was the executive director of People's Songs from 1947-1949. He was editor of Sing Out! 1950-1967, and he was associate producer at Folkways Records 1958-1964. From 1960-1967, Silber was Editor and Co-Publisher (with Moses Asch) of Oak Publications.

Subject: RE: Songbook Indexing: Oak Publications
From: raredance
Date: 18 Jan 09 - 12:52 PM

Pete Seeger's "How to Play the 5-String Banjo" was eventually picked up by Oak. It is listed on the back cover of a 1974 Oak publication along with some other titles not on the list at the top. The version of Pete's book that i have is 3rd Edition Revised, 1962 which was still published by Pete himself. So the Oak version would have been after 1862 and before 1974. My version does not have an index to the songs included although there are many with both banjo tabs and melody lines.

    116.No Depression in Heaven


So, this isn't all the tracks in the 6-CD collection, but it's a good number of them. I wish there were a site that provided all the lyrics to all the songs in the anthology, but I haven't found it yet.

Not posted so far (unless I skipped over it) is "Anthology of American Folk Music," edited by Josh Dunson and Ethel Raim, 1973.

Someone here at Mudcat posted a link to it and I made a copy. If someone has an original copy, that would be the best one to list, but I can do it if the original poster can't be contacted.

Q asked that we NOT post the index to Folksingers' Wordbook (click for index), apparently because he thinks it's too long. I suppose that's a reasonable request. Same with The Peggy Seeger Songbook: Warts and All and The Essential Ewan MacColl Songbook, both of which are relatively recent publications from Oak (click).
Still, if somebody were to provide a link to online indexes for these books, that would be a wonderful contribution.

I found a first edition of this book for sale online for $650 (and didn't buy it). I paid $20 for my second edition, and I couldn't pass up a paperback I found later for $8.99. Maybe they'll pay for my grandchildren's education....

This page (click) has some interesting information on the book:
    Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and John and Alan Lomax, made a huge impact on folk music in America, one which is still felt today. It is likely that their joint efforts with each other and many others fostered that sense of community which is still present in modern folk music circles. Seeger, Guthrie, and Alan Lomax collaborated on a number of projects, including a book of protest songs that Alan had been collecting. His father, John, had considered them "too protesty" for his own publications. In 1940, Alan passed the songs on to Seeger and Guthrie who compiled them and wrote introductions and copy for the book, "Hard Hitting Songs for Hard Hit People." Unfortunately, the songs were considered so radical that they were unable to find a publisher. The book eventually was published in 1967.
The book was reissued by the University of Nebraska Press on November 1, 1999. As far as I can tell, it is no longer in print - but copies are available for consideraby less than $650.

Subject: RE: Songbook Indexing: Oak Publications
From: Mick Pearce (MCP)
Date: 11 Aug 07 - 05:36 PM

I couldn't see it listed above (though I think it's been mentioned on Mudcat before), but the index for Sing Out! is available online at Song Index for Sing Out!. (This is a direct link to the page, but it can be accessed indirectly in the frames from the Sing Out site; follow link to the Sing Out Resource Centre, then from there to the index).

I've got some Oak books. The ones to hand appear to be:

Old-Time String Band Songbook (not listed above, but with dates 1964, 1976)

Masters of the Instrumental Blues Guitar (1967)

and two more recent ones:

The Gow Collection of Scottish Dance Music (1986)
Western Swing Fiddle (1994)

I think I've got some more, but would probably have to hunt around for them (not on shelves!)

I'll try and put up the contents for the two early ones tomorrow.
