DESCRIPTION:
Ohio Reader said Nice typography, but not DeCormier arrangements. There is one PP&M songbook with piano arrangements by Robert DeCormier. This book is not it. This one has notation (not TAB) that sort of reflects the guitar patterns and riffs that were typical of PP&M's performances, at least as much as it is possible to notate two guitars as one. I did know a fellow back in the '60s who learned some PP&M accompaniments from records without realizing he was reproducing the music of two guitars on his one. The typography of this book was excellent unlike the copy of this title reviewed elsewhere on this site. Chord names are provided over the melody line, so it's still fun to play these f. L. J. Snider said Not what I expected for classic Peter, Paul & Mary. As much as I love PP&M and played & sang their music in coffee houses back in the late 60's I was disappointed that this book had very few of the very popular pieces. It does have many of their great compositions but they are the more diverse ones from their early era. Also, the binding on the book is so stiff I couldn't get the book to stay open to play pieces without using large clips on both sides.. Kindle version Jay T. Vansickle II I have always loved Peter, Paul, and Mary, but do not by the Kindle version of this songbook. They photocopied the book and it breaks up the songs so you may only see 2 or 3 lines of the music at a time. I owned the the actual songbook but lost it somewhere.
Recollections by the singers, a discography, chord diagrams for five instruments, plus 42 American folk favorites -- all in one great songbook! Here are just a few: Puff (The Magic Dragon)*If I Had My Way*A'Soalin'*Oh, Rock My Soul*It's Raining*One Kind Favor.
