The Homespun Songbook - 100 Timeless Songs to Learn and Play

Singing and playing music at gatherings - whether around a campfire with friends, at parties or community sing-alongs - is always magical and uplifting. Music is the universal language that brings people together from all walks of life. Happy Traum, the renown folk musician and educator/founder of Homespun Tapes, has put together this fantastic collection of 100 songs, perfect for gatherings of all sizes. They have been joyously tested at sing-alongs and jamborees for generations, and he wants to share the experience with you!
Happy tells how and where he became acquainted with each song and the artists who wrote them and/or made them famous (many of whom are/were personal friends) and how these songs shaped the culture and times. Here are a few highlights: Traditional Folk and Bluegrass - Freight Train * Kisses Sweeter Than Wine * Nine Hundred Miles; Singing the Blues - Betty and Dupree * House of the Rising Sun * St. James Infirmary Blues; Gospel Songs and Spirituals - Amazing Grace * He's Got the Whole World in His Hands * I'll Fly Away; Singer/Songwriters - Blowin' in the Wind * Darcy Farrow * The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down; * and many more!
Each song contains lyrics and easy-to-play guitar chord diagrams!
