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

We are having a Golden Aniv cleb for mom & dad. Dad has always played by ear and it would be super to have the works & music for these oldies one more time before it's too late. Are any of these available. Madison Wi

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.....

Gene, if you sent the email, it did not get thru. We received an empty message and no return add. Duane

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-
