Thanks for posting this Overland material Terry!

What I thought interesting was each song was different written by different people.

Those fandangle new machines were quite the topic of popular culture back then, so it seems. 

 

And try as I must, I cannot find any recordings of any of the 4 above Overland Songs.

 

But I think if you are going to drive the automobile, dress in period clothing, then appreciating the music of the day is only natural.
