Traditional American Music

Some Irish lads wanted "tradition American" music. Is there such a thing? In our early history, we just had Irish, English, Scottish, French, etc. music. And these evolved into the genres we have today.

Here is my list..

* Yankee Doodle (1700's)
* Turkey in the Straw (1820)
* Buffalo Gals (1844, Cool White)
* Camptown Races (1850, Foster)
