Re: Ping: Abby Sale

rryman's "Whither Zither' blog:

"I'm referring to zipper songs which are known as such because their lyrics
for the most part don't vary from verse to verse except for a spot where
replacable words or phrases can be "zipped" into and out of the song, like
the animals in Old MacDonald. Or like the activities in the song Ain't It a
Shame which I learned years ago, along with many other wonderful zipper
songs, from a Leadbelly's Last Sessions LP:

Ain't it a shame to [go fishin'] on a Sunday, ain't it a shame. (repeat)
/Ain't it a shame to [go fishin'] on a Sunday, When you got Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday/ Oh, Thursday Friday Saturday, ain't it a shame."
============================================================ =========
Or any cumulative song. Or my favorite children's car driving song, Jenny
Jenkins. Or those Seeger-singalong songs - Down by the Riverside, etc.
Must be a bunch in Rise Up Singing.

BTW All, I'm in Raleigh, NC now. Don't bother to visit me in Florida
anymore. Visit here.

who did these tracks? By clicking on a sample link, you can listen to a 60
