Excerpt from Maple-Leaf Songs Repeated requests from members of the Canadian Contingent for copies of D.C. (crowned with that jolly episode) have caused me to gather these verses together into a little book. The day of the broadsheet is not our day, and b.c. Must go out with others, instead of alone. I trust that some of the others - two of which, I have to state, with acknowledgments to the Editors in question, have already been in print Inventory in The New Statesman (london), and River Saint Lawrence in The University Magazine (montreal) -moy also find friends.

Excerpt from Autumn Leaves From an Eastern Maple: A Collection of Songs and Verses for the Home Folks All nature on that morning woke rejoicing, For how could we poor mortals fail to see The emblem of pure lives writ out before us, So plainly it was meant for you and me; A robe of charity spread oe'r our failings, A blessing from His hands we all may know That, scarred by sin, unworthy all by nature, We may at last be cleansed as white as snow. I wonder if the children in the homeland, And they who now have grown to manhood's prime, Who year by year this wondrous magic ponder Have learned its lesson in the winter time. Here where so seldom come beautious snow-storms, A blessing follows as they come and go. 0 may we all soon learn full well the lesson 50 kindly given in the spotless snow. And when with earth the sky itself seems blending As 'round us eddy snow akes in the air, They'll be to us a type of joy unending, The bliss and purity we'll have up there.

"Floyd Levin's half-century collection of reportage, reviews and recollections are an irreplaceable and totally enjoyable trove of writing about the vibrancy, past and still-present, of traditional American jazz."—Charles Champlin, author of Back There Where the Past Was "I've known Floyd and his wife Lucille for more than fifty years. Floyd's book is a colorful, intimate account of his lifelong love affair with jazz. I'm especially fascinated when he writes about his personal encounters with some of the jazz legends of the Century. This book is essential reading for anyone concerned about jazz - its present, its past, and his evolution."—Milt Hinton "Floyd Levin's dedicated and unselfish life-long work for the cause of jazz has illuminated many a corner that would otherwise have remained in the dark. All who care about the music are in his debt. Classic Jazz, like Floyd himself, is a classic."—Dan Morgenstern, Director, Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers University "What a rich, passionate and human book this is! Drawing on fifty years of devotion to classic, New Orleans jazz and the artists who performed it, Floyd Levin brilliantly weaves anecdotal material, primary research, intimate personal observations, and analyses to create an historical goldmine of the music's evolution in New Orleans and on the West Coast. In rendering portraits of legendary musicians in such a beautifully moving, honest way, he offers not just standard history, but a strong sense of the emotional core of the music as well."—Steve Isoardi, co-author of Central Avenue Sounds

In this unique and readable study, Jon Finson views the mores and values of nineteenth-century Americans as they appear in their popular songs. The author sets forth lyricists' and composers' notions of courtship, technology, death, African Americans, Native Americans, and European ethnicity by grouping songs topically. He goes on to explore the interaction between musical style and lyrics within each topic. The lyrics and changing musical styles present a vivid portrait of nineteenth-century America. The composers discussed in the book range from Henry Russell ("Woodman, Spare That Tree"), Stephen Foster ("Oh! Susanna"), and Dan Emmett ("I Wish I Was in Dixie's Land"), to George M. Cohan and Maude Nugent ("Sweet Rosie O'Grady"), and Gussie Lord Davis ("In the Baggage Coach Ahead"). Readers will recognize songs like "Pop Goes the Weasel," "The Yellow Rose of Texas," "The Fountain in the Park," "After the Ball," "A Bicycle Built for Two," and many others which gain significance by being placed in the larger context of American history.
