Anyone ever seen a fake book of Bob Wills tunes ?

Post by Larry Lenhart »

I know there are books on Amazon of bob wills tunes, but It seems to me a friend of mine years ago loaned me a book and I copied several of them. It might have been a home made book by someone, I dont recall, but it was kinda cool based on the images i have. I can get all the words, music , etc from biab or other sources, I would just like to find such a book. Has anyone ever seen such a thing ?
thanks in advance

Hey Guys,
I've got Dick Gimble's "Western Swingin' Numbers" book available from Ken's link above. Nashville number system charts for lots of great swing tunes - here is the songlist:
