Re: American Jewish songbooks

[Marvin <physchem...>]

I just happened across a booklet (4X71/4", 96 pp) we have, The Jewish Center 
Songster, edited by Bernard Carp, published by the National Jewish Welfare 
Board in 1949.  The foreward says it contains "favorite and familiar Hebrew, 
Yiddish, and English songs which should be in the basic repertory of every 
American Jew."

The booklet lists seven accompaniment sources, but not their publication dates. 
 One is Goldfarb's Jewish Songster.

  As an addendum to this, can anyone tell me the years of publication of 
Goldfarb's The Jewish Songster?  Wasn't it first published around 1918?  Was 
the last one in the 1920s or later?  I know there are many sage collectors and 
scholars on this list; I appreciate your help.

    Khaveyrim,

    Does anyone know if there were any books of American Jewish songs published 
in between Harry Coopersmith's Songs of My People (Shiri Ami), published in 
1937 by The Anshe Emet Synagogue (Chicago?), and Coopersmith's The Songs We 
Sing (Ul'shonenu Rina) (New York, 1950)?

    Thanks,
