Alice Flynn, Montana American Folk for English Singers... (12) RE: American Folk for English Singers... 28 Jun 97

Suzanne, if you really want an understanding of American folk music, get a copy (inter-library loan possible) of the book "Folk Songs of North America", by Alan Lomax, 1960, published by Doubleday & Co. There are melodies, guitar chords, piano arrangements, and lyrics, as well as a detailed history that is broken down into chapters chronologically, regionally, and by style and subject matter. It will be a great help if you can find a copy of it. Good luck.
