FORGOTTEN SONGS

There are se.veral old song books published during the turn of the century containing popular tunes, some whieh still survive today and some whieh have been forgotten. Unfortunately, these song books did not have the music scores aecompanying the printed words. It is to the credit that people like Johnny Noble and Charles E. King/and others, carefully set the musical notes down on paper for some of those favorite songs. We hope that by reprinting some of the songs whieh are not heard today someone may recognize the words and remember the tune. If this is the case, thert we would like to receive either the written musical score or at least a tape recording of the song. We will then print the score and the words in the following issue for all to see, sing and to become a favorite song.
