With/in each/dt song/nn he/pps gave/vbd verbal/jj footnotes/nns ./.
The/at songs/nns Sandburg/np sang/vbd often/rb reminded/vbn listeners/nns of/in songs/nns of/in a/at kindred/nn character/nn they/ppss knew/vbd entirely/rb or/cc in/in fragments/nns ./.
Often/rb these/dts listeners/nns would/md refer/vb Sandburg/np to/in persons/nns who/wps had/hvd similar/jj ballads/nns or/cc ditties/nns ./.
In/in due/jj time/nn Sandburg/np was/bedz a/at walking/vbg thesaurus/nn of/in American/jj folk/nn music/nn ./.


	After/cs he/pps had/hvd finished/vbn the/at first/od two/cd volumes/nns of/in his/pp$ Lincoln/np ,/, Sandburg/np went/vbd to/in work/nn assembling/vbg a/at book/nn of/in songs/nns out/in of/in hobo/nn and/cc childhood/nn days/nns and/cc from/in the/at memory/nn of/in songs/nns others/nns had/hvd taught/vbn him/ppo ./.

	The/at result/nn was/bedz a/at collection/nn of/in 280/cd songs/nns ,/, ballads/nns ,/, ditties/nns ,/, brought/vbn together/rb from/in all/abn regions/nns of/in America/np ,/, more/ap than/in one/cd hundred/cd never/rb before/rb published/vbn :/: The/at American/jj-tl Songbag/nn-tl ./.
Each/dt song/nn or/cc ditty/nn was/bedz prefaced/vbn by/in an/at author's/nn$ note/nn which/wdt indicated/vbd the/at origin/nn and/cc meaning/nn of/in the/at song/nn as/ql well/rb as/cs special/jj interest/nn the/at song/nn had/hvd ,/, musical/jj arrangement/nn ,/, and/cc most/ap of/in the/at chorus/nn and/cc verses/nns ./.


	The/at book/nn ,/, published/vbn in/in 1927/cd ,/, has/hvz been/ben selling/vbg steadily/rb ever/ql since/rb ./.
As/cs Sandburg/np said/vbd at/in the/at time/nn :/: ``/`` It/pps is/bez as/ql ancient/jj as/cs the/at medieval/jj European/jj ballads/nns brought/vbn to/in the/at Appalachian/np-tl Mountains/nns-tl ,/, it/pps is/bez as/ql modern/jj as/cs skyscrapers/nns ,/, the/at Volstead/np-tl Act/nn-tl ,/, and/cc the/at latest/jjt oil/nn well/nn gusher/nn ''/'' ./.

Sandburg/np is/bez in/in constant/jj demand/nn as/cs an/at entertainer/nn ./.
Two/cd things/nns contribute/vb to/in his/pp$ popularity/nn ./.
First/od ,/, Carl/np respects/vbz his/pp$ audience/nn and/cc prepares/vbz his/pp$ speeches/nns carefully/rb ./.
Even/rb when/wrb he/pps is/bez called/vbn upon/rb for/in impromptu/jj remarks/nns ,/, he/pps has/hvz notes/nns written/vbn on/in the/at back/nn of/in handy/jj envelopes/nns ./.
He/pps has/hvz his/pp$ own/jj system/nn of/in shorthand/nn ,/, devised/vbn by/in abbreviations/nns :/: ``/`` humility/nn ''/'' will/md be/be ``/`` humly/nn-nc ''/'' ,/, ``/`` with/in-nc ''/'' will/md be/be ``/`` w/nn ''/'' ,/, and/cc ``/`` that/dt-nc ''/'' will/md be/be ``/`` tt/nn ''/'' ./.


	The/at second/od reason/nn for/in his/pp$ popularity/nn is/bez his/pp$ complete/jj spontaneity/nn with/in the/at guitar/nn ./.
It/pps is/bez a/at mistake/nn ,/, however/rb ,/, to/to imagine/vb that/cs Sandburg/np uses/vbz the/at guitar/nn as/cs a/at prop/nn ./.
He/pps is/bez no/rb dextrous-fingered/jj college/nn boy/nn but/cc rather/rb a/at dedicated/vbn ,/, humble/jj ,/, and/cc bashful/jj apostle/nn of/in this/dt instrument/nn ./.
At/in age/nn seventy-four/cd ,/, he/pps became/vbd what/wdt he/pps shyly/rb terms/vbz a/at ``/`` pupil/nn ''/'' of/in Andres/np Segovia/np ,/, the/at great/jj guitarist/nn of/in the/at Western/jj-tl world/nn ./.


	It/pps is/bez not/* easy/jj to/to become/vb Segovia's/np$ pupil/nn ./.
One/pn needs/vbz high/jj talent/nn ./.
Segovia/np has/hvz written/vbn about/in Carl/np :/: 

	``/`` His/pp$ fingers/nns labor/vb heavily/rb on/in the/at strings/nns and/cc he/pps asked/vbd for/in my/pp$ help/nn in/in disciplining/vbg them/ppo ./.
I/ppss found/vbd that/cs this/dt precocious/jj ,/, grown-up/jj boy/nn of/in 74/cd deserved/vbd to/to be/be taught/vbn ./.
There/ex has/hvz long/rb existed/vbn a/at brotherly/jj affection/nn between/in us/ppo ,/, thus/rb I/ppss accepted/vbd him/ppo as/cs my/pp$ pupil/nn ./.
Just/rb as/cs in/in the/at case/nn of/in every/at prodigy/nn child/nn ,/, we/ppss must/md watch/vb for/in the/at efficacy/nn of/in my/pp$ teaching/nn to/to show/vb up/rp in/in the/at future/nn --/-- if/cs he/pps should/md master/vb all/abn the/at strenuous/jj exercises/nns I/ppss inflicted/vbd on/in him/ppo ./.


	To/to play/vb the/at guitar/nn as/cs he/pps aspires/vbz will/md devour/vb his/pp$ three-fold/jj energy/nn as/cs a/at historian/nn ,/, a/at poet/nn and/cc a/at singer/nn ./.
One/cd cause/nn of/in Schopenhauer's/np$ pessimism/nn was/bedz the/at fact/nn that/cs he/pps failed/vbd to/to learn/vb the/at guitar/nn ./.
I/ppss am/bem certain/jj that/cs Carl/np Sandburg/np will/md not/* fall/vb into/in the/at same/ap sad/jj philosophy/nn ./.

Nor/cc does/doz Carl/np reject/vb this/dt identity/nn ./.


	He/pps is/bez proud/jj of/in having/hvg Segovia/np for/in a/at friend/nn and/cc dedicated/vbd a/at poem/nn to/in him/ppo titled/vbn ``/`` The/at-tl Guitar/nn-tl ''/'' ./.


	Carl/np says/vbz it/pps is/bez the/at greatest/jjt poem/nn ever/rb written/vbn to/in the/at guitar/nn because/cs he/pps has/hvz never/rb heard/vbn of/in any/dti other/ap poem/nn to/in that/dt subtle/jj instrument/nn ./.
