Singing Rails MB96901 $12.95

The story of the railroad is an essential part of American history. There were few aspects of 19th century American life untouched by the railroad. The songs, stories, and even the jokes of the railroad all play part in telling its history. Although no one can say precisely when the first railroad stories and jokes were told, railroad music was published in Baltimore as early as 1828. Singing Rails is itself like a train. Each page is a boxcar or passenger car loaded with the songs, the jokes, and the stories of the people who lived the railroading life. Period photographs, etchings, playbills, and amusing anecdotes are combined with melodies and complete lyrics to create this engaging collection.

TThe Waltz Books I, II and III WB-1, WB-2, WB-3 $16.00each

Many musicians have praised the wonderful tune selection ("finally -- a music book where I enjoy almost every single tune!"); the clear notation, easy for several musicians to read off the same book, with no page turns; chord symbols, so backup musicians can play off the music; and the heavy-duty metal spiral binding, which won't bend or break in your music bag. Beginning and closet musicians have found the tunes inspiring -- slower and easier than jigs and reels, and very rewarding for the time and effort invested.
