Pure Nostalgia and Fun to Play!
Oh, what a joy! Playing through these classic 1950s songs by various artists brought back so many memories. The P/V/G arrangements are not overly complicated, making them perfectly achievable for a weekend player like me. The online play-along tracks are a brilliant addition; they really make you sound like you're part of a band. It's such a relaxing and rewarding way to enjoy my favorite tunes.

Solid Gig Book for Classic Tunes
This Hal Leonard collection of 50s standards is a dependable choice for gigs. The P/V/G format means accurate chord symbols are present, making quick reads easy. The arrangements are generally standard and adaptable for various requests. My only practical note is the thick binding; like many such books, a spiral conversion would make page turns smoother during a set. Great value with 100 popular songs.

Excellent Resource for Developing Students
This 1950s collection is a fantastic teaching tool. The P/V/G format offers clear lead sheets for vocal students, and the piano reductions are approachable for intermediate players. It's great for teaching rhythmic accuracy and sight-reading with popular tunes. While fingering suggestions are minimal, it encourages students to develop their own, which is valuable. The sheer volume of songs is a major plus for repertoire building.

songs of the 1950's
I almost lost hope in receiving my order due to some mix up on your part having to do with the correct address. I finally got it but it took a month. I very much like the songs and am giving you guys a second chance to redeem yourselves as I just ordered the 60's music book and hope it arrives way under a month this time.

Good memories
Playing through this albmum brought back many good memories. Some well.known songs, some I had forgotten and some I probably haven't heard.Arrangements fits me well (playing organ with base pedals), and I found most songs easy to play.Only downside is the binding of the book. As most music note books, the binding makes it very hard to keep the book open at the right page when playing. I would prefer a spiral binding!!
