America Via Mitch Miller

Highlighting the American Song Treasury as recorded by Mitch Miller.
This is the Pop Music of America before the formalizing days of Tin Pan Alley! 
Melodies typically ended on the root note of song key, and sections typically ended on the 5th chord (Dominant).
Many American children still learn these songs in Elementary School Music class. 

Videos include description of song's origins, and historical scenes related to each song's backstory, 
sometimes social commentary, sometimes jokes. 
Does America's past have a ripple-effect on America's future? 
Regardless, these songs may come to be timeless and end up belonging to the whole world.
Enjoy!
