Re: [Harp-L] Creole Jazz Band fake book 1 -- FREE

[Joseph Leone <3n037@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been looking for the charts for a number of trad jazz tunes for YEARS. Stuff like High Society, Fidgety feet, Hindustan, China Boy, Panama, etc., But wound up having to chart them out myself...which I'm sure isn't optimal. Now I can breathe a sigh of relief as these are the real deal. So Phil Lloyd has re-established his place at the top of my goody two shoes list. Not that his position was ever up for grabs.

You can still buy collections of books of pubic domain songs, but if you do download a pre-1923 song, you are not violating copyright law.

If not, you will have to spend several hours printing each page, and printing the back of the sheet until you finish -- if you want the whole book. Then go down to Kinkos and get it spiral bound.
