[Dixielandjazz] Old Bones request

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

Does sheet music even always exist for all tunes we may hear various bands  
play or people perform?  The fake sheet I have says the composer was John  
Hadley, but indicates no copyright date.  I'm told it was a signature song  
for George Burns in his later years so maybe that's a tip on locating it.
 
Maybe someone could/would take a fake sheet and write out a piano  
arrangement for her.

I  recently received a nice message from a fan of ours who requested the
sheet  music,NOT a chart, to Old Bones for her own use.  I tried  Musicnotes
and a few other websites to no avail and all I have is a lead  sheet.  
Anyone
out there able to help this lady?

Here is the  message she sent:

Dear Mr. Crumley,

I have been trying  in vain for several years to find a copy of the sheet
music for "Old  Bones", and since I have your album with that wonderful
selection on it,  which I bought at one of your appearances at our Jazz
Jubilee in Pismo  Beach, I thought you might have access to the music. If 
so,
I would very  much appreciate knowing how to obtain a copy. A fake sheet
wouldn't do me  any good as I don't know how to play from one of those. I
need the actual  music, and I just want to be able to play it for my friends
and my own  amusement. I am not a great pianist, but if I work hard and
practice  something, I can generally play it pretty well. I think I would be
inspired  to work hard at that, and would like to be able to do it before I
die! That  may come sooner than later because I am an old lady! Thanks for
anything  you can tell me, and double thanks if you can point me in the  
right
direction to get a copy of that music!

Sincerely<

Is  this a great mailing list or what?
