Hi All:

Merry Christmas to those of you who celebrate it. The past two weekends, I've been the guitar player leading some holiday singing at a couple of house parties (my OM2H cuts through the mix!) -- totally fun stuff with kids of all ages singing up an assorted mix of Christmas tunes. Very fun indeed. And, tonight, we even had a professional washboarder sitting in, and it was just awesome -- holiday cheer all around!

Here's the question for you all. I've the Mark Hanson "Fingerstyle Noel" book, and at the end of the book, Mark has chords laid out for many tunes with suggested capo markings, and there are probably 30 tunes in five pages, and it is perfect for getting through a song strumming away and having fun. Unfortunately, some of the stand-bys such as Rudolph, Frosty, and other secular tunes are not included, presumably for copyright issues.

However, I'm looking to purchase chord sheets like what Mark Hanson has laid out. These things are just right: The capo markings are spot on for singing in a crowd, the keys chosen are not filled with tricky bar chords, and they just work marvelously. Can anyone refer me a source such as what I'm looking for? If I had the time and wherewithall, I would make the equivalent of what Mark Hanson has put together for the other tunes.

Can anyone refer me to where I might look? Many thanks and happy holidays to everyone!!!
