About this piece
Vintage America's Best Loved Songs lyrics booklet, printed "Compliments of: Rotary Club of McKeesport" on the illustrated birdcage-and-flowers cover. The back is marked "Printed and Distributed by National Printing Co. - Pittsburgh 10, Pa." with an HE 1-5335 phone exchange. 16 numbered pages, staple-bound, about 3.7 x 7.2 inches. Used condition with light toning, a few brown spots and a small stain near the bottom of the back cover.
A sing-along booklet of words only (no music notation), with "return to bridge" cues for group singing. Songs shown include If You Were the Only Girl, I Can't Give You Anything But Love Baby, Side by Side, Moonlight Bay, Forever Blowing Bubbles, Darktown Strutter's Ball, If You Knew Susie, In the Evening by the Moonlight, The Drunkard Song (There Is a Tavern in the Town) and The Sheik of Araby.
A nice piece of McKeesport and Pittsburgh-area civic club history from the era of Rotary luncheon sing-alongs. Some lyrics reflect the language of their time.
