about The Great Family Songbook
Created for accomplished musicians and beginning players alike, and perfectly designed for family singalongs, this compilation has something in it for everyone. These are the classic and memorable songs we learned around the campfire, at school, from friends, and listening to the radio—from "Danny Boy" to "Alexander’s Ragtime Band.” Arranged by theme, you’ll find Christmas and other holiday songs, cowboy and western songs, children’s songs, folk songs, barbershop songs, hymns and spirituals, blues songs, international favorites, and more. Popular tunes include "Tom Dooley," "We Three Kings," "Camptown Races," "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling," "Those Were the Days," "Kum Ba Ya," "Hush Little Baby," "This Land Is Your Land," "She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain," and many more. The piano arrangements and guitar chords are skillfully done and clearly laid out so that even casual players can make beautiful music.
Artist Sarah Wilkins has contributed delightful illustrations that bring these timeless songs to life. All in all, The Great Family Songbook is destined to become a treasured family heirloom.
