Song Sheets. There are so many of these, and I'm attached to them, so it's hard to know what to do. Different sets, usually for individual classes (VS185X: Songs & Places) in their individual iterations. The trouble is (as with so many things) I like the way they look--often with a drawing--that's me with the concertina on one--or some other embellishment--or just the sense that they're handsomely organized and that someone cared. I asked Dorry about this (one of the Planning grads who was passing in the hall) and she said that no one her age would want the paper--they all use their phones, and all the songs are available online. I even have them posted myself!

But at the same time, there's something pleasant about holding a song sheet in your hands, turning through the pages, finding the next song by accident, or inadvertently--but with the feeling that they all belong to a set. Very different than the experience of infinite availability when one does this online. The digital world being a blessing, but also a great robber--we lose all the mistakes. (And of course gain some new ones, but digital in nature!)
Ask John at Down Home Music in El Cerrito. Maybe he'll have an idea.
