[Dixielandjazz] Press Release on CD & Play Along Fake Book

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

Hi Jim,
If I can find time to go through and look up the keys, and type in the 43  
tunes, yes, but not for awhile.  Most musicians who do a lot of  playing 
will not be interested in this fake book and it's not sold separately  anyhow.  
Where we find the interest in this package is either:  a) folks who want a 
product in return for a non-tax deductible contribution  to a kids banjo 
band, or b) folks who are beginner or amateur musicians and  like having 
something set up with lead sheets and CD where they can play  along.  For example 
I ran into one such purchaser at an event last  evening.  He told me he was 
enjoying the CD and playing with the book,  but he found a lot of tunes to 
be very fast in tempo.  (The tunes  are usual old time pizza parlor tempo 
which was fast.  This is an  on-the-market CD which is selling well and Rob & 
Ray volunteered to add  a band fund-raising aspect via another volunteer's 
developing the fake sheets  more or less consistent with what Rob & Ray 
recorded.  I write more or  less consistent since their intros and improvisations 
are not notated.   Several of the tunes are in medleys such as a Cohan 
medley, and Irish medley,  etc.)
 
In an aside, I realized this week that this 9 - 14 year old band has not  
lost a member in a year -- so we must be doing something right.  I tell the  
kids that they are now indentured and cannot leave before age 18.   LOL

Can you  post or email a copy of the table of contents, showing the tunes in
the  fake book and the keys they're in?
