Ladies and Gents,

I have an old Joe Carr Beginning Mandolin tape that I bought
in the '90's. Somewhere along the line, I lost the tab booklet
that came with it. Wanting to revisit the songs, I contacted the distributors, advised them of my problem and they sent me a tab book free of charge!

That's the Good News, here's the Bad:
Between then and now, Joe redid the videos and changed the
song list. So I have a tab pamphlet that has the new songs and
a video that has the old songs!

Candidly, I know most of the songs and can get the great majority
of the musical information right. Having said that, I would like to
get them ALL right and am wondering if anybody has the old version of this tape and would care to send a brother a copy of the tab book, for love or money. I'd also be into buying the tape, if it
had the tab book.

Heres the version I don't need:
To be specific, the Incorrect Booklet has tab for:
Two versions of Old Joe Clark
Cuckoo's Nest
'Boil them cabbages down
Bill Cheatem
Hackberry
Red Haired Boy
Daybreak (two versions)
Lonesome Road Blues and a
Monroe Solo

Interesting songs, but not what's on my tape.
I need:
Two versions of Old Joe Clark
Cuckoo's Nest
Gold Rush
Kentucky Mandolin
Can't ya hear me Callin?
Footprints in the Snow
Kentucky Waltz
Lonesome Fiddle Blues
Sittin on Top of the World
Mollie and Tenbrooks
Georgia Rose
New Camptown Races
Fire on the Mountain
Wheel Hoss and
Big Mon

If anybody could help, I sure would appreciate it.

I have this video too;"New Camptown Races" is awsome. Kentucky Waltz with those double stops is worth the price of admission in itself!

yeah, Cameron, I agree!

I like Joe's Tapes and Music alot.
I have another Joe video, along with one of his CD's.
Plus, one of my buddies studied mando with him out at South Plains College in Levelland, Tx (Bluegrass Univ.), so I wound
up with a lot of Joe's thoughts and observations (on music and
mandolins!) at the same time I was learning from his tapes.

You know, I bought that tape ten years ago
when I started playing mandolin. I know I spent 30, 40, maybe 50
hours looking at it the first couple of years. It's been a real
kick to revisit the tape and see how I incorporated his lessons into my own playing style. I'd just like to express my appreciation in this forum for Joe's easy teachin' ways,
his musicality and all the help he gave to me and others along the
way. Thanks, Joe!

Yes to Joe. The guy just has a certain simplicity and logic to his playing that is mandolinistic and perfect. I have some early tab books he did that contain good tunes, good ideas.
