I'd like to see a second volume of "Rise Up Singing," with lyrics to mostly popular songs. I haven't found any lyrics books other than that one that give a large quantity of songs for a reasonable price. I finally couldn't stand it any more, and I broke down and bought a number of fake books, each with tunes and lyrics to about 1200 songs. Each one costs about forty bucks, but they are treasure chests. My favorites are the Broadway and Jazz "Ultimate" fake books from Hal Leonard.

Search under "fake book" in the title index at amazon.com, and you'll find lots of ways to spend your money. -Joe-

I also have about half a dozen or more MITCH MILLER sing along albums that include the lyrics of ALL kinds of OLDER songs.

Will have to make a list of the songs!

Will see if I can SCAN the covers and email you an attachment of the SONGS INCLUDED.....

As a kid we had these music books (maybe monthly magazines) which had great sing-a-long numbers. Examples: Behind those Swinging Doors, Roll-a-Bowl-a-Ball probably 40 to 50 songs per book. We've lost ours. Are any copies available? Who published these? Help! Duane
