Here is yet another format....one I favor. What do you think?

YES

I prefer this "seperate but equal" format, Tim. Having two parallel but different formats is too distracting for me. BTW, you mentioned having permission...do you need an original copy to work from? I'd be happy to scan or simply send you mine to work from.

I was originally going to produce a TAB book from the "little yellow book" but I really didn't want to step on Weidlich's toes and frankly, I got distracted by other things. I have about 25% of it Tabbed out.

Thanks Marc. I agree about the two parallel formats. Same page...but separate.

Actually, your "Yellow Book" is the one I use. You sent it to me already. Also, your 1872 I have on my site. The 1886....yours is better (because it is the 1887) but I think I am using mine...I'd rather go back to yours....more material in it. My others are from Brown.

Additional comment...I think the Yellow Book has some of the most accessible material...it is not difficult.

The Weidlich tab version of the yellow book was what got me really hooked on this stuff in the first place. Lots of good tunes that are easy to get your fingers around.
