D-Cup Dixie Chords:
Generally, the chords and routines will be the same as this book, but
since I have found better sources, added many verses, etc., there are significant
differences.
Lyrics: When there is space, I put lyrics at
the bottom of the page. However, many of the best vocal tunes and female
vocal show-pieces, are verse-chorus tunes with no space on the page. They're
all on separate sheets, available free via eMail.
See the Books page for details.
"I think your fake book is the best I've seen. It's a shame that
it's taken this long to get one out that is accurate. You've really
done a beautiful job with this one, and I am grateful to you for sending
it to me. I recommend it to anyone who is trying to learn the old
tunes. Many, many thanks."
--Dan Levinson (Leader of the Roof Garden Jass Band, clarinet and
sax player on many trad CDs.)

Upgraded pages.
As I discover new sources, play the tunes in jam sessions
and on gigs, or listen to classic recordings, I upgrade sheets. For example,
when I did "If I could be with you", I decided that the verse wasn't important;
as a result of playing it regularly, I changed my mind and made a separate
page with the verse, then changed it again because the turnaround seems
to be standard. I changed a few chords in "Do you know what it means..."
When I did the Bb edition, I upgraded some pages. I upgrade both books
at the same time, as time permits.
When I reprint a book, I include all the upgrades. Owners of previous printings can obtain the upgraded pages, in .pdf format via eMail free-of-charge.
