CDSS just published Nils Fredland's work "New River Train, Square Dances from 
the Collection of Keith Blackmon".  There's a lot of 30s-40s-50s popular songs 
in that book.  Living in the area, I'm certainly biased, but I would hope some 
of those might pick up popularity in the rest of the country.
