The Story So Far

I'm trying to compile a songbook of as many zither type numerically notated songs as possible. Won't you please help? If you have any songs that I don't have in the list, please drop me a line at ukelins@hotmail.com.

The originial instructions for this tablature are found in the playing section.

These sheets were intended to sit atop a wire music rack that fit into metal grommets beside the top sound hole. Why not bring the ukelin over to the computer and play up a storm or print them out and annoy the neighbors. Enjoy.

Pop Spencer deserves special mention for his undying love of musical hybrids and his crusade to research and preserve them. Many of the songs listed above are courtesy of his lifelong collection, to which I am in his debt.

*Many thanks to Gary L. Wixford, who took time out from his weanling colts to send me Marx numbers 23, 24, 45, 177, 179, 203 and the handwritten songs, all from his trove.

**Thanks to James Schidlowsky for sharing what he found in his Violin-Uke case.

Special thanks go to Steve Wyatt for scanning and sharing numbers 1, 9, 222, 225, 288, 246, 504, 526 and many handwritten pieces.
