Amazing, Fantastic, Unbelievable - JUST PLAIN FUN. I am a retired Air Force musician and enjoying my retirement years by playing music for my church, nursing homes, assisted living facilities and senior get togethers. Now since I don't think I will be playing 50s and 60s music for church, the response by the other groups has been nothing by just super. It is so great to see toes tapping or fingers moving in time with the music, and then the occasional getting up and doing some dancing that probably hasn't been done in a very long time. I have close to 50 play along books. Early Rock 'N' Roll Era Fake Book, without a doubt or a moments hesitation is absolutely the most popular of all books that probably cover well over 800 tunes. I am having more fun than I ever expected when I "retired." Many thanks to those that put this book together.

Only two customer reviews for this great fake book? This is a fake book that has tons of tunes from the days of my misspent youth. My wife and I are amateur musicians and we play from this (and other fakebooks). We use these tunes and make our own backups for our gigs at retirement homes, etc.. Sure is fun to play those old r & r hits.

A lot of easy to play early rock N roll. I bang out the chords on my keyboard and sing the melody. My baby boomer+ friends think its great...

You get great collection of songs, but like all fake books they lack intros, and critical parts of songs. If you just want the melody, chords, and lyrics this is not a problem. Well worth the money overall.
