Peter Gannon has always allowed me to put a one-time new product announcement here. This is it. Thank you Peter for your kindness.

Check out these NEW, FUN add-ons for Band-in-a-Box by Norton Music

Two years in the making, Norton Music is proud to present 6 new fake disks based on the following top-rated music books:

1) The Real Book, 6th edition. The real thing. This has been the most requested title by my customers for the past few years. It's the jazz player's bible. Bonus: I assigned Real Styles for almost every song on the disk. Check out the song list and download the free samples at http://www.nortonmusic.com/fake37.html today.

2) The Real R&B Book. From roots R&B to Motown to contemporary R&B - every pop musician should have this book. Packed with songs both you and your audience know by heart. Check out the song list and download the free samples at http://www.nortonmusic.com/fake38.html today.

3) The Real Blues Book. From T-Bone Walker to Robert Johnson to Muddy Waters to the three Kings of the blues to Kenny Wayne Shepherd - this is the history of the blues from the roots to the 21st century. Check out the song list and download the free samples at http://www.nortonmusic.com/fake39.html today.

4) The Real Christmas Book. It's a Christmas Party in a Box. From the classics to the contemporary you can definitely gig with this one. Check out the song list and download the free samples at http://www.nortonmusic.com/fake40.html today.

5) The European Jazz Book. Tired of playing the same old songs? Sher publications has collected some of the very best Jazz titles from Europe and put them in one place. We put them in the Box. The thrills are waiting. Check out the song list and download the free samples at http://www.nortonmusic.com/fake41.html today.

6) The Real Country Book. No, we haven't forgotten y'all. Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys are there, Johnny Cash is there, Alan Jackson is there, Zac Brown is there - almost everybody who is anybody from Texas Swing through modern Nashville music joins the party, and you're invited. Check out the song list and download the free samples at http://www.nortonmusic.com/fake42.html today.

They are all at http://www.nortonmusic.com/fake.html - just look for the NEW arrows.

Dang it, Bob, I just ordered four other fake disks/books from you. Now I'm going to have to spend even more money. smile

Seriously, though, thanks for keeping it "REAL". I have always enjoyed your fake disks and they are a lot of fun to play and sing along with.

They are downloadable and not very large files (they are just .SGU files, but Bob has done all the work of inputting the chord progressions, as well as figuring out appropriate styles to go with each song).

Hi, I meant the Fakebook, is it also available for download? Realbook 6th edition, as well as the others? I’m asking because mail theft if huge here in Mexico, I’d never get them.
One last question, is there an option for Paypal?

Thank you so much again Bob,

I just bought the Real R&B and the Real Country Fake Disks. I have the physical Real R&B book (and started playing out of it after receiving the Fake Disk - lots of fun). I had to order the physical copy of the Real Country Book, as I hadn't previously gotten that one.

Bob, can I also request that you consider doing the Real Pop Book (it's a pretty recent release). I have that book, but it would be nice to have the Fake Disk that goes along with it. A lot of good songs there.

Hi John,

Like any musician, we take requests, but we prefer them to be on the back of a winning lottery ticket laugh

Seriously, I just checked it out. Thanks for the suggestion. It will be on our next release for sure.

I'll also be releasing more MIDI styles next time. I didn't release any styles this year, and I got about a dozen requests for more MIDI styles so far.

Here you go, Bob. I have it on good authority that it is definitely a winning lottery ticket.



I don't know who exactly won it, but it was a winning lottery ticket.

I've used the "winning lottery" line a lot on stage.

One night, quite a few years ago, a regular customer came up with a request on a lottery ticket.

At the end of the gig he told us that it was a "quick pick" and just in case it was a winner, he bought one with the same numbers as the QP so that if we won, he would share the prize with us instead of be disappointed that he gave away a fortune.

It didn't win anything.

But we did know the song.

We've got this new, regular gig (couple of times per month) at a RV Resort (some of those rigs go for over a million dollars) and lately a lot of "soft rock" songs have been requested. We learned "Tin Man" a few weeks ago and we're working on Bob Seger's "Still The Same" now. But none of those requests came up on a winning lottery ticket frown

Such is life.

The bigger the number the harder we work laugh

On a serious note, in my duo http://www.s-cats.com we write down all the requests that we do not know.

If a song gets requested repeatedly, and we feel we can cover it, we learn it. And the songs that get requested the most get learned the fastest.

So our songlist (on the website) reflects our audience's taste in music.

Of course some of them were songs we learned for ourselves, but we get to request tunes too laugh

We'll learn anything that is either requested often enough or for a regular audience member even if it's not. It's good for job security, and playing so many different styles of music is good for my playing skills as well.
