Just getting into the accordion, fallen in love with stuff like 40s French waltzes and tunes in general. But where can I find sheet music like that? Preferably stuff I can print off, but any sites containing books of it would be welcome too. Cheers, Kit

"French" can mean Quebecois, Acadian, Cajun, Parisian, Hatian, Creole, or any number of styles from the hinterlands of France. Anything in particular?

Yje usual catchphrase is "French musette accprdion," and I know Mel Bay Publications have some books of the classic waltzes, javas, etc. Sorry I don't own any so I don't have specific information.
