  1. Wonderful news! I bought Vol 2 a few years back online for $2. Recently, I'd seen it go up to over $200! This stuff needs to be accessible.

  2. Did you have something to do with this Charlie? I remember you saying at Harrietville a couple of years ago that UMP weren't interested. Great.

  3. Is the format, simple written music or are chords shown too?

  4. I didn't really have any involvement beyond encouraging people to continue bugging them about the reissue. Looking forward to seeing it myself. The format of the book is standard notation. A few of the transctiptions have piano accompaniment.

  5. Hey Glenn..I'm the guy that bought it for $200. D'Oh! But it's great to see these tunes back in print and I hope they'll be played (with piano!)
