music needed

[flo]

help help help - I need the words and music to two songs and in my vast musical library of books, sheet music, CD's, cassette tapes and records, I do not seem to have.    The music needed is "Magic Moments" that I believe was sung by Perry Como in 1958 and also "Blue Bird Isand" by Hank Snow in the early 50's ?  Any help appreciated.  If you have it and I can borry (found that in the Severy Dictionary) it to copy, let me know.  Great big THANKS in advance.

thanks, Waldo.  Hope I can remember the tune.  If not, would still appreciate a copy of that.

Wichita Public Library has a CD with  "Bluebird Island" - I'll pick it up later this week for you.

While I'm there, I'll ask about the Perry Como song. I've got another source I'm checking on as well.

I can't find the music here either.  I'll e-mail our church pianist and see if he has either one.

I checked on Musicnotes.com, they have the music to Magic Moments.  You can go on their site. They have a free
download software so you can read the music. However the songs are 4.95 a piece.  You can look at it
online, transpose it to any key you want and then down load to your computer and print it out.  They didn't have
Bluebird Island.  You could probably bring it up on the screen and hand copy it real quick perhaps.

Debbie, I have it on record, but didn't want to have to "pick it out" on the piano.  I can, tho, if I need to.  Thanks

Then I'll see if they have it in a "Fake" book - the library has gobs of those books.
We use them all the time.
It's usually the melody and chords, though - would that work?

I'm also still checking out another source.

fake book would work.  I'm good at faking it  - I can make up my own music if I have the words and melody
