Thread Name: songbook bibliography
Subject: RE: songbook bibliography
Years ago, during slow times, we had a secretary who made a card file of the books, but it was long before we became acquainted with the new age of technology, and it was aoon obsolete. We can no longer afford a secretary, since we have to hire someone now to do the shipping that I used to do. Anyway, Susan, you're right, our library is not catalogued on computer (or on anything else that's up to date). I'd like to do it, but, as you probably remember, my computer is on this side of the place, and the library is on the other. Now, if I had a laptop... Ah, well, maybe I'll recruit another volunteer to aid the old geezer here.
Back on topic: didn't Peter, Paul and Mary put out a songbook, as Judy Collins and Joan Baez certainly did? I'll run a check on the used book shop sites and Amazon, if Joe Offer doesn't beat me to it.
Add to Hard-Hitting Songs (above), Edith Fowke and Joe Glaser's Songs of Work and Freedom and Guy Carawan's Ain't You Got a Right to the Tree of Life. And I'll probably want to add a few more after I check proper titles, etc.
