      The Civil War is responsible for a half-dozen of the songs Nos. 3, 13, 14, 27, 53 and 68. Stephen Foster, whose melodies burned their way into the American consciousness, has seven entries Nos. 1, 11, 30, 40, 45, 54 and 60. Five of the tunes are cowboy songs Nos. 20, 33, 39, 44 and 72. I chose seven Negro spirituals: Nos. 6, 26, 35, 36, 51, 57 and 70. There are transportation songs (Nos. 5, 7, 33 and 58), songs of the sea (Nos. 10, 21, 50 and 64), folk hymns (Nos. 16, 69 and 71), and a whole bunch of love songs, many from the southern mountains (Nos. 25, 31, 47, 49, 52, 62, 63, 65 and 67). You can hear my harmonica segments on Nos. 1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 72.
