In 2003 Q visited my website Cocojams. At that time the focus of Cocojams was to provide examples and my commentary on African American children's games songs,rhymes & chants And secular African American slave songs. [Thank you Q for letting me know about Mudcat, although it took me till Sept. 2005 to join!]

Cocojams'focus has recently changed to that of place where people can share their memories about everyday experiences or eventful experiences. However, Cocojams still includes examples of and commentary on children's games songs, rhymes, and chants. There are also a few examples of African American slavery dance songs; Civil Rights Freedom songs; and African American university Greek letter fraternity and sorority chants.

One example of a handclap rhyme found there is DOUBLE THIS
Double double this this

Double double that that

Double this

Double that

Double this and that.

For more examples visit Cocojams

I am particularly interested in variations of children's rhymes and commentary/demographics about those rhymes as I am working on a book on that subject.
   
Also, you will see a number of my Mudcat posts on Cocojams. You will also find some re-posts from other Mudcatters. The re-posts from Mudcat members were used with their prior permission.

May I also say that Cocojams is a work in progress. Your input and support would be VERY greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
