Customer Reviews

great fake book
Remember, this is a fake book, so it works best for those who can work in that mode. If you love the music from Astaire-Rogers movies, "Easter Parade", "Holiday Inn", "Annie Get Your Gun", or great American standards from Tin Pan Alley, then this is for you. Like the Beatles Fake Book published by Hal Leonard, the chord suggestions are well selected, fully specified, always appropriate for the corresponding passage, and will appeal to "mature" fakers. Great price too. I've gotten lots of mileage out this book.

Good-Old Days Live Again!!
When I received the book, of course I had to sit down at the organ and start playing. Well, I relived many movies, years, memories, and thoughts while I played the well printed pages. Some fakebooks are printed so small, with me being a senior citizen,I can't read them. Not this one tho. It has great fill in chords also. The paper and cover is made of good quality stock to last many years--just as Irving Berlin's muic has done.

Difficult to see notation at normal viewing distance on music holder
The notation is way too small for comfortable sight-reading. I have tried a couple of times, but have set this book aside in favor of my Warner fake books which have a very comfortable viewing size.
