And just for the record you CAN buy Real Book on Amazon.com




Not the ones I'm talking about. The problem with "legal" Real Books is they've usually been over simplified for students, the changes are wrong and they're not "Real" at all. The underground ones I've heard about (of course I've not actually seen one) are actual transcriptions taken from the original or most famous versions of those tunes. If you get called for a gig around here and it's a Real Book gig, you better show up with the right Real Book that matches what everybody else has unless you're experienced enough to have memorized several hundred standards.
I see Earl is living in the right place to be admitting to illegal activities on an open forum...yeah I know, it's really no big deal, the Real Book police are not going to knock on our doors any time soon.
