Summary: Best Lead Sheet Christmas Collection I have seen.
Review: I am about to buy my second copy of this book. The first one got loaned out or lost since my gigs last Christmas. I am a weekend performer at local venues and this book has most every Christmas song written. It enables meet to accommodate almost any requests. The keys are generally the most common keys for each particular arrangement.
I can't make it through the Christmas season without this crutch to lean on.

Summary: Written in a key too high - as always
Review: I thought about buying this book, but luckily there were many sample pages to preview, so I was able to avoid the mistake. This fake book, like most on the market, seems to have every song written in a key too high for most normal people to sing. Most people buy fake books so that amateurs can sing along, so they need to be written in nice middle-range keys (often C or B flat, as opposed to F and G, but it really depends on the song.) This problem of having the key too high also exists with standard church hymnals, which is why congregations generally sound like rusty hinges, even if the members can carry a tune.For once, I wish somebody would write a fake book with all the songs already transposed into a sing-able range. An even better idea would be to offer each song in two different keys, about 4-5 notes apart, so that the accompanist can more easily adapt to the needs of the singer(s). Does anybody know of such a book? If I have to take the trouble to transpose, I might as well save my money and start with blank note-writing paper.
