America Singing: 19th century song sheets
- For most of the nineteenth century, before the advent of phonograph and radio technologies, Americans learned
the latest songs from printed song sheets. Not to be confused with sheet music, song sheets are single printed
sheets, usually six by eight inches, with lyrics but no music. These were new songs being sung in music halls or
new lyrics to familiar songs, like "Yankee Doodle" or "The Last Rose of Summer."
