Song Books and Music

Anybody know of any song books and/or music books for fiddle for american folk songs and tunes? Mountain folk tunes and songs? I am talking about traditional american songs that were sang in the 18th and 19th century.

You can also try the Bluegrass and/or Old Time music forums. they will very often have links to sites that have Mountain and Old Time music for free.

Here's a pretty comprehensive site as well...

18th Century Songbook

...not necessarily fiddle tunes per se but you can certainly adapt them. There's a lot of links to follow from here as well. A lot have midi files, too. :hatsoff:

 

Thanks for all the info. These sites that you guys have posted here are really great sites and very informative.
Thanks much,
