Songs That Live

If the songs that people love best
can be taken as an indication of the
peoples tastes, then America is de-
cidedly a nation of folk devoted to
their homes.
Music supervisors in national con-
ferences recently voted on the songs
most popular among the people of
their communities. Among eighteen
songs receiving the highest number
of votes from directors of communi-
ty singing throughout the United
States were:
cold Folks at Home" "My Old
Kentucky Home" "Old Black Joe"
'Dixie," Garry Me Back to Old
Virginny," There's Long, Long
Trail" Home, Sweet Home" Sweet
Genevieve," and "Till We Meet
Again"
Notice the number of sweet old
Southern melodies that lead the list,
and every song one that in some way
carries one back to the past and to
the time of sweet memories. These
songs were found to be among those
most in demand in community sing
ing. There is more in that fact that
appears in connection of the songs
with domestic affairs, observes the

revocably people is rooted to the
