Since someone on Facebook (hi Woody!) brought up a song I’d never heard, “Flag of the Free, Fairest to See,” I just had to look to see if it was in an old song book we have.

Yep, it’s there.

And while looking through the book I (after all these years) read the Forward:

Heh. This book came out in 1909. I guess we have always thought of the current popular stuff as “less than”, eh?

And yes, most of the songs in “Songs That Never Grow Old” have … well … grown old.
