Millions of Americans grew up singing 'Attisket Atasket' 'Put Your Little Foot' and 'Paddywhack'. Immigrants brought delights like 'First Night in America' and 'My Love Is in America'. John Philip Sousa captured theAmericana of his time in marches for all time such as 'The Fairest of the Fair' 'King Cotton' and 'Boy Scouts of America'.
