Make Music, The Olde Fashion Way
The "All American Songbook" was my dad's, and it was my first introduction to many early American songs. It was copyrighted in 1942, and sold for a whopping 25 cents. The songbook, "The Sovereign" was copyrighted in 1897 (it's actually a hardcover) and sold for the outlandish price of 75 cents. I bought it for a dollar at a local antique store's sidewalk sale a couple summers ago. The harmonica, or, mouth organ, is a fairly run of the mill Hohner, Marine Band 1896. (That's not the year, just an identifier.) Bought at another local antique shoppe. Both my dad and my grandfather played the mouth organ. I may give it a try, too, but, I think I'll buy a new one for that. lol
