"I found this old songbook and let me list the songs in it!
Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms
Flow Gently, Sweet Afton
In the Gloaming
Santa Lucia
The Little Brown Church In The Vale
Ole Dan Tucker
AND YES............JUANITA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The name of the book is 357 Songs We Love To Sing, and it was
copyrighted in
1938 by the Hall and McCreary ( they must be from somewheres else)
company.
Amazing to find that many songs that were used in the show in this one
book.
I may have even missed some!"
"Ol' Dan Tucker" is an old folk song that pre-dates the Civil War and was
popular in western North Carolina. "Believe Me, If All..." is even older still
- at least as old as the early 18th century in England (or was it Ireland?
Well anyhow, somewhere over there in the old country). A whole lot of
Appalachian music comes from British ballads.
Oh, yeah, guess what tune Barney plays on the harmonica in "The Loaded Goat?"
-- That's right, "Juanita."
Lots o' luck to you and yours!
