Hi, I am a Diversional Therapist in Australia who plays the guitar and sings! Does anyone have some good songbooks with lyrics and chords they can point me at?
I'm looking for:
Australian Folk
British Folk
Irish Folk
WW2 Era
Popular Music (Elvis, Johnny Cash, Neil...)
Anything I'm missing?
Cheers!
Wow what a great gift you have I know a musician who I can ask so stay tuned
She has 2 books: Songs of the 20's/ The Decade Series
published by Hal Leonard and The Best of Irish Music/ Complete
Sheet Music Editions published by Creative Concepts Publishing Corp.
The rest of her music She gets from live people or find online
She lives in the US so doesn't know much about the other things
I hope this helps

We would use Hal Lenord Songbooks, too! The Sing-Along compilation was always a resident favorite!
I use Mike jackson's " Uke and play" series. I play the ukelele in a passable fashion. The songs and words are a great resource, especially his campfire book. His books also come with a cd. They are available in most music stores but here is the best link. (see below)

Thank you Julianne
