"Heart Songs" is not a mere collection of words and music'
thrown togeather to make a song book, 20,000 people voted
the songs in “Heart Songs” the songs of the American 'people
Four years were required to reach a verdict and the result is
“Heart Songs," the song book of the American people.
Many of these songs cannot be tound in any other collection
They came in yellow, time-worn, tear-stained sheets- that
had been sacredly treasured from childhoodl- some were
written out from memory-others were given by titles only--
or remembered verses involving along search to obtain the
whole. Of the thousands received it is safe to say that
the several hundred finally selected-as having the largest
number of votes and the highest endorsement-represent
today the taste of the Americian people in its choice of
music. We believe that the distribution of this unrivalled
song collection will- bring-more happiness into the hor_i_i_es__9f _
