Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Jefferson & Liberty (Campaign of 1800)
The version of "Jefferson and Liberty" in the DT, copied from "The New Green Mountain Songster," came from "The American Songster," 1807, printed by David Heaton, Providence.
Music in "The New Green Mountain Songster" comes from the Woodstock Coll., MS of C. M. Cobb.
Don't know where Silber got the tune "Gobby-O" that Chico uses. See entry about this tune in the "Fiddlers Companion."
