Two LOVELY music books from which I can actually play.
I am beyond thrilled.
THGGM is on vacation this week. It relaxes him to lay in the sun on a hot windy beach. That makes me get a migraine. So, while he recovers from oral surgery at the beach, I am lazing away my afternoon playing "I Don't Want to Live On the Moon" and "Won't You Be My Neighbor?".
I just LOVE the Reader's Digest Songbooks. They have chords. I like music that provides one with the chords.
Are you as impressed as I am?
Oh, my.
Not that I was around for much of the 50's, but I am familiar with almost every song on this list. Even if only because I or my friends had wind up jewelry boxes that played some of these, or, my mom always sang around the house so some of these I hear in her voice (i like that now, i didn't when she was doing it!).
My piano is seriously out of tune and my playing is undeniable lousy, and I can only sing alto BUT!, I'm not letting that stop me from playing my heart out!
Sigh.

I love "I don't want to live on the moon!" Looks like good finds!
Tom Dooley, I sing out of tune, out of rhytm and as false as can be, am always asked to not sing in company or makeshift choirs, but I could howl along with that one. Today it is easy, I am the best singer in my own car, driving all alone, grin.
I might not know one or two on that list, but oh, such memories. With some of them I seem to know exactly when I heard them first and more importantly, where. Such finds at thrifts are real treasures. D M
Play on! Sure wish I were there on the piano bench beside you.
