Parlorsongs Final Issue

 

Effective June, 2007, we have discontinued monthly issues so that we may focus on redesign of the site and updating of older issues to the current format that includes "Scorch" versions of the music. We will add new articles on an unscheduled basis as time permits. In the meantime, we hope you'll continue to explore the many articles and over 1200 songs that we've published thus far.



Parlor Songs is an educational website about American popular music and the history of the genre
