Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Little Blue Man
GUEST (06Mar11 belatedly) and Fran -

Here's a quick lead sheet from the Betty Johnson recording on youtube: The Little Blue Man. It may not be exact, but it should give you enough to work with.

If you don't know what to do with the abc code below, copy it (from X:1 to the last w:*...(I)) and paste it into the abc converter at Mandolintab.net. Paste the code in the big box, select the paper size and press Submit. You will then see a page with the lead sheet on it. Click the pdf link underneath the score to create a pdf of it, or click the midi link for a midi file.
