Folk Songs & Singing Games of the Illinois Ozarks

This rollicking collection of songs, dances, games, and rhymes from the legendary Illinois Ozarks will be of in­terest to folklorists and teachers.

Thanks to David McIntosh and his pur­suit of a lost tradition, the heritage of a special section of the country has been preserved in this delightful and enter­taining collection. Here are materials for the performance of folk music, for the teacher in K-12, for the amateur folk­lorist, for party books for adults, and for source hunting by musicologists.

The themes, the songs, the children's rhymes, singing games, and square dances--many with words and music, together with commentary on them--are all here in this rousing collection of folk songs and singing games.
