I checked this out from the city library, and quickly decided that I like it enough to buy it. The editors chose one song from each year. I like their choices.
Many popular songs are rather insipid:
- I lost my love boo-hoo
- I am infatuated with you
- I want to do something immoral with you
This book has many songs that are better than that.
So far I've came across one puzzle in it. The 1911 choice: Alexander's Ragtime Band contains lyrics "and if you care to hear Swanee River played in ragtime, ...". However, Swanee is the 1920 choice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Folks_at_Home helped me solve that dilemma. It tells me that (Swanee River) was composed in 1851 by Stephen Foster.
I am enjoying using this book for sight reading. (
