Well I don't know how many books on Ry Cooder were published by Music Sales (Herb Wise) around 1980, but they employed me to do one. I was introduced to Music Sales by Happy Traum who had already published several folk guitar books through the company. I had met Happy through Kicking Mule records, and we played many dates all over Europe & the States together. Happy is still active with his solo music and his company Homespun Tapes. The first book I was involved with, through Music Sales was for Rory Gallagher.My part was the guitar score and tab. This was not very successful due to my working from a piano score written by a pro arranger in concert keys. The result being,say when Rory played a 12 string guitar tuned a half or full tone down and played C shapes, the arranger scored the dots in B or B flat. (Davey Graham once told me the same thing had happened to his comp .Anji- he saw it in a book scored in Eflat...he played in C capo 3rd fret.) Anyway with Ry Cooder I had access to the music, they sent me an audio cassette with the selected tracks on it. I thought including Boomers Story & Keep on Movin' was fine , but for copyright reasons they wanted He'll have to Go. which for me,had too many Jim Reeves connections for the UK. I don't know what was finally included because Music Sales never sent me a copy. Like to have seen it, but ghosts rarely get credited. Transcribing music today is a very different process...not saying it's better. Then we had to listen..today they watch. Hope you find a copy of the book. John James |
