Yes, I saw those, I was hoping for a bit more...

My Local Music store rarely has something useful , but they do have an Account with Mel's distribution.

so thanks for the Heads Up, I'll have them get a copy.

I couldn't wait for Christmas on this one -- I ordered it immediately. This is going to be great!

Mine is ordered as well. Don's instructional material at the Mandolin Symposium and in Mandolin Magazine is top notch. You get the also get the added benefit of supporting someone who logs on to the Cafe and adds depth to the discussions here.

Too hard to order at Mel Bay. I'll wait for Amazon!

Ordered mine from Mel Bay. Missed the nice 40% discount, but I'm still stoked about this book. Between Mandolin World News and Mandolin Magazine and his terrific CDs, I've been gobbling up everything Don dishes out. This is going to be a fun winter with all of these tasty Appetizers to relish!

Ordered and arrived! OhBoyOhBoyOhBoy! It's gonna make my fingers sore but i really like this offering.

Been using this book quite sometime. Through Don's diction, it is my understanding that he is re-naming the songs mentioned to avoid copyright issues?

Does anybody have a list of the actual songs he is notating?

Noting the four-year anniversary of this great book by Don Stiernberg. A must own for aspiring jazz mandolinists!
