"Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago!" This was the favorite toast of John A. Lomax, co-founder of the Texas Folklore Society and the man who, J. Frank Dobie wrote, "more than any other made the cowboy songs and Negro songs a part of the inheritance and folklore of the world." Lomax's toast gives this collection of Texas folklore its name. And the volume opens most fittingly with Dobie's article on Lomax.
