Prohibition & Temperance Movement Songs
By Brian Thornton

"Sahara, We'll Soon Be Dry Like You", has always been one of my
favorite Prohibition songs.  It is interesting, though not surprising,
that in the 50 years I have been collecting records and piano rolls,
I have yet to come across one, yes _one_, pro-Temperance song!
