Found New/Old Songs

By Frances Carter - April 7, 2009

Memories of songs I've heard, yet did not know the words. History is a wonderful thing. Enjoyed the "foot stomping" songs. As a city youngster visiting the south in the early 40's, in the old church camp meetings, some of these songs were sang. They bring back memories of good times in my youth.

Thanks

American Negro Songs

I was looking for a particular spiritual and found it listed in this interesting collection. In the search found many spirituals that were new to me. My soloist then sang "He Never Said a Mumblin' Word" for a service on Good Friday from this collection, with great affect on the congregation.
