Does anyone have a lead sheet, or know where
I can get one, of a song entitled "Pretend".

I am told it was popularized by Nat King Cole in the 1950s.

Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Merrill

Brenda Lee also did it in 1960..
I may have a fakebook version..I will check later..for now I have to play a 90th birthday party....maybe I will do "Pretend"..

I can send you Brenda's mp3 if you like[3 megs].

Merill if you supply me with your email I can send you the midi file for Pretend, the version I have is by Shaken Stevens a bit of a rock n roll.
There was another song called Pretend I think it was sang by Des O'conner it was a really nice song.

Merrill, send me an email giving your email address, and I'll send the leadsheet to you as a digital file. I put one in the mail 4u2 Fran. - Scott

Fran, thank you much!

I hope you can find your fakebook version.

I have exhausted my resources here.

Would appreciate receiving Brenda Lee's MP3.

Thanks again for your generous help.

Hi, Scott!

Would greatly appreciate receiving the
lead sheet to "Pretend".

OTS: Are you still finding your Music Pad
useful in live performance? And has scanning the rest of your library into the
pad proven a manageable task?

Kevin at FreeHand has also been helpful to
me in getting the Pad up and running. He
speaks highly of you.

Cordially,

Merrill

Hi,Tony!

Thank you for you MIDI file offer of Shaken Stevens on "Pretend".

It will be a great help.

I do appreciate you assistance.

Email address is MerrillAinsworth@cox.net

Merrill, check your email.

Congratulations on your recent purchase of the MusicPad Pro. I'm really enjoying my MPP unit. I now have near 1,000 songs available in this device at my fingertips for playing pleasure. In addition to having scaned music in manually, I've also been fortunate to have a number of fakebooks already in digital format making conversion much quicker, as well as knowing other fellow MusicPad owners who have subsequently traded with me their converted to .fh format song music sheets as well. Knowing now that you have decided to join the exclusive MusicPad owners club, perhaps we can swap .fh files as well. I really appreciate the ability to only require taking ONE device for ALL my music needs. No more wasted gig time shuffling thru a fakebook(s) (and often unsuccesffully) hoping to locate that obsure song request of a song which may have become rusty (forgot the changes or lyrics to) or perhaps never played before. Mounted on the MusicPro's stand, it is far less obstructive than a traditional fakebook on a musicstand. I don't use it for all my songs when performing, but it's really handy (bright & easy to view) when needed. I especially like the PLAYLIST function in which I can select from a select pool of songs to play from. Great for rehearsal as well as on the gig because you can make quick notation/chord/lyric changes & other notations (arranger KB performance instructions, etc). I'm really looking forward to the continually new enhancements appearing in the upcoming OS update as well. The MusicPad Pro has met & exceeded my original expections. Though perhaps a bit pricey, it's worth the investment to me. Going paperless means saving trees too. - Scott

Hiya's
I am just wondering if this song "Pretend" is the same song as one by the same name, recorded on the flip side of "Ferry 'cross the Mercy" by Gerry and the Pacemakers?
