Al,
Thanks for posting the link to our (the Halifax Ukulele Gang’s) newest songbook. And thank you for all of your song postings over the years. I know there are several songs in this collection that have benefited from the chords and tabs you have posted.
A lot of credit goes to BURP (the Berkhamsted Ukulele Random Players – http://www.hamishcurrie.me.uk/burp/songs.htm) who posted a great collection of songs that I was able to cannibalize to act as the seed for our songbook. They have a great site with lots of great songs. Check it out!
Also, there are some other great resources that make putting together a book like this even easier. The Chordette font set created by Uke Farm (http://www.ukefarm.com/chordette/) really simplify adding chords to song sheets. As well, the Ukulizer (http://www.ukulizer.com/) website was a great help in converting songs to ChordPro format and for changing key with the click of a button.
Once again, thanks for the shout out!
Jonathan
