Dear Joe, Are you still interested in acquiring the song book, "Music Near and Far"? I would be happy to send you a copy. (This goes back a bit, I know.) Sheila

Hey!! Is this a competitive thread?

Uh-oh...now I'm in an embarrassing situation. Somebody offered to sell me a copy, and then somebody offered to give me a copy, and I said that yes, I'd like it. For the life of me, I couldn't remember who said they'd send me one, so I hope they don't get peeved that I forgot who they were for a time. Now I know, Charles - my computer finally found the e-mail. Thanks.

So, anyhow, Sheila, Charles is going to send me a copy, but thank you very much for offering.

Gargoyle has been lording it over me for years because he has a copy of Music Near and Far, and I don't. If I'm correct, this is the book that taught "Señor Don Gato" to everybody who knows the song, and I feel deprived because I didn't learn the song as a child. On the other hand, maybe this fourth-grade book is where Gargoyle learned all his bawdy rugby songs...

Anyhow, thank you, Sheila and Charles. So, Ebbie, what's this about competition - were you going to send me a copy, too? Heck, I could start teaching fourth-grade music if I could get just a few more.

Nope, Joe O. I was thinking about the one-post thread competition. FYI, one of the successful criteria, they claim, is to give a thread the most boring title! (No offense, Sheila.)

None taken, Ebbie, but thank you. The Permathread thread had gotten so long I couldn't remember where/when the request came, and I thought my offer to J. Offer would get lost. Anyway, "Senor Don Gato" is NOT in this book. Sheila

Is this the book that contains the song "Around the World in Maine"? I've been looking for that song, from a childhood songbook, for years. I even did a Mudcat posting for it, but no-one could find it.

Nice trick, Joe, the CRTL +F found Don Gato in the Silver Burdett Centennial Song Book, Grade 4, 1985.
It probably first appeared in one of their books in the 1960s-1970s.
Song Book Permathread 69315: Permathread

Cool Beans, the song isn't in the books listed so far.

Q: the same search, CTRL+F would also have found it in the earlier BBC Time & Tune book for 1963 (only under the title of "The Great Don Gato"

Trying to find what is needed for the CRTL +F search. Great brought up a song about a Great Chief but not Great Don Gato. Don Gato worked for the book I cited. Gato doesn't work.
Now it doesn't work at all for Don Gato.

Now it doesn't work, period.

There is a song called Music in one of the books. The search doesn't find it, but hits on the Music Download at the base of threads.

Must be something in my system canceling out the CRTL F after a time

It came in the mail today. Thanks you very much, Charles, and everybody else who offered to help.

No, the book doesn't have "Don Gato," but it does have other songs I've been looking for, like "Dr. Ironbeard."
