The Book of Call and Response
You Sing, I Sing
John Feierabend has spent decades compiling songs and rhymes from the
memories of the American people, in hopes that these treasures will be preserved
for future generations. These books are a result of his belief that when many
generations share common experiences such as traditional folk songs and
rhymes, it helps them develop a valuable but dwindling commodity, a sense
of community. Sharing also enables adults to tap into their own wonderful
childhood memories as they pass on that same repertoire to their children. The
calls and responses are structured so the leader sings one part and the group sings
a contrasting response.
