I have here my mother’s (and, indeed, my grandmother’s) copy of The News Chronicle Song Book, a well known anthology of popular songs produced and printed by Novello. It has songs of this era in it, and the book was designed for family/community singing, so I’m sure children will have sung the songs in school. I attach a pdf of the two contents pages Best Barry Barry Creasy research, consultation, evaluation, cultural analysis T: 020 7625 4952 M: 07791 869670 E: [log in to unmask] W: www.barrycreasy.com _____ From: List for discussion of issues in museum education in the UK.

My Mum is 82 and, as she was trying to fry some belly pork for her lunch, wasn’t able to multi-task and only gave me 5 songs: * Nymphs and Shepherds * Bobby Shaftoe * If I were a blackbird (I’d whistle and sing) * Brahm’s lullaby * Jesus Bids Us Shine (I remember singing this one too and liked the imagery of sitting in a dark corner with a lit candle in my hands. I was a lonely child…) Hope this is of use/interest? Essex From: List for discussion of issues in museum education in the UK.

She was actually at school at the start of the 50’s but she reckons these were songs from the 40’s. Donkey Riding http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zJlceN-Wd8 Sally Brown – this song hilariously contains the lines, ‘she drinks rum and chews tobacco’. Love the idea of my 7 year old Ma learning that song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6ts58a8Dfk They sang them at school and learnt them by regularly listening to a radio programme called Time & Tune: http://www.broadcastforschools.co.uk/site/Time_and_Tune#.UKuMD-eGnrw.facebook Best Sophie From: List for discussion of issues in museum education in the UK.
