Songbook Collection

Songbooks in this collection are generally earlier than 1940 and have the words "hillbilly", "mountain", "mountain ballads", "home music", "old time" in the title or description.  I also have some old instruction books (e.g., violin, autoharp, etc.) in this collection.

I'm drawn to these books because they were used for social recreation in the pre-TV era (commercial TV broadcasts began in 1930).
