Anyone familiar with the Buskers Books? I haven't seen these sold anywhere in the US, but I found out about them from a Korg site that sells a Regi-stick with Songbook entries from a Busker Book. So I did some research and found a whole series of these books online. http://www.themusicpeople.co.uk/acatalog/The_Music_People_Busker_Books_16.html

I'm just curious if they are any good and if they are available in PDF or electronic format? I have some fake books in PDF format that are just great for printing a single song sheet.

Al, you've got mail. I have a busker series book in pdf of all Sinatra tunes. My understanding is the Busker series is a UK version of a fake book. When I had owned the Tyros 2 I bought a some Busker registrations, they were outstanding. Hope the ones for Korg are as well.

Al, I have the entire first series, the red book, the rock book and a couple of Auusie song only books, and they are excellent.

The range of songs is amazing, and although some dont have the full lyrics, ie rarely, the last verse is missing they give you more than enough to get a song done. Great value. And well worth having.

Hi Al, I use them all the time and they are lots of fun. You can pick them up on Ebay for next to nothing. There are about 15 of them and also some giant albums with 1001 tunes.
