5.0 out of 5 stars The 2nd best book in the world (after the Bible of course), April 17, 2003

I absolutely love this book. It is definitely the best book I own besides the Bible. I found my dad's 1982 edition and it is very awesome. Pretty much any song that I'd ever want to play (before 1982) is in there. And I'm pretty sure that this one for sale is a newer edition, so it'd have more recent songs.It has everything from oldies, to hymns, to pop songs, and folk songs. I taught myself to play guitar off the chord chart in the back. The bottom line is that this book is essential to anyone who is a guitarist, or just likes to sing. If I could own only two books, it would be the Bible and "Songs." Do not go another day without it! I plan to buy another since I use it so much and don't want to ruin my dad's copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Songbook-Hands Down!, April 3, 2006

I am a pastor and music leader and we use this songbook as our regular "hymnal." I have used this book for over 20 years and it is hands-down the best. It has a great mix of contemoporary and traditional music. It also has a huge selection of secular music with tunes from a variety of eras. There is something in it for virually every audience from senior citizens to teenagers.

Before discovering this collection I used to carry 3 or 4 song books around when I had a hospital and nursing home ministry. It has gone through several editions and the newest book has over 1000 songs. My only complaint about the book is that some of the songs have been tampered with to make them "politically correct," i.e. "Onward Christian Soldiers" has been altered to "Onward Christian People" and "Faith of Our Fathers" has been changed to "Faith of Our Founders (Fathers/Mothers)." Absurd and irritating as this is, one must understand that the editor (and author of many of the songs) is from very liberal Marin County in Northern California.

Yohan Anderson has done music leaders and everyday sing-at parties-and-holidays folks a great service in compiling this wonderful songbook.

I was introduced to the 1984 edition of this book and fell in love with it. It lasted a long time and finally fell apart. I am ecstatic to find it back in print, revised and updated. It is a must have for all camp councilors, and youth workers.
