<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Bill I should have said Sydney-Zenith chord book in
deference to other Zenith bands both in USA and UK. I think you call them
(for some odd reason?) "fake books" in USA. It is a list of numbers with
chords in keys we normally play them in. This now totals in excess of 2000
numbers that we can call upon when someone requests something we have not
played for some time. As pianist and manager I am "keeper of the
chords" which I use shamelessly at regular intervals. Although not
generally available at present all numbers will be listed in the Sydney-Zenith
Tales book that I am writing. <FONT face=Arial>When our clarinet
player does a feature he also hands out A4 size sheets to the backline with the
routine and chords written on them for immediate on stage playing, and just to
keep us on our toes, he plays some numbers extremely
fast. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>You have given me an idea - for boosting book sales to banjo players
worldwide. I was only going to list the numbers alphabetically in the
Zenith Tales book but if I also include a CHORD BOOK .......... who
knows perhaps immediate fame and fortune will occur.</FONT></DIV>
