Love the song choices and arrangements in this book. I don't think I've ever seen " All For Love", "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", "If You Say My Eyes are Beautiful", "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman", or "If Ever You're in My Arms Again", in a book...

like this.

These arrangements are really brilliant. Interesting, flowing and creative. I agree with the previous writer that some of them are pretty old - in the 40s and 50s. I bought it not knowing what to expect and a week later I am engrossed in five pieces. If you look down the...

contents and find just a couple of songs you like, then it is certainly worth buying. I would love to be able to give Tom Roed a shopping list of my favourite songs and get him to make his own arrangement of them.

when i first bought this book about 5 or 6 years ago, i really enjoyed playing from it. now, however i find it a little dull, mostly b/c most of the songs in the book are kind of outdated. if you buy this book, buy it for the arrangements...

of 'The Rose', 'Lady in Red', and 'You're the Inspiration'.

This book will surely add more songs to your repertoire. Most of the pieces are ballads and inclined truly for solo playing. You'll definitely love playing this entire book for your loved ones! It would absolutely catch and set the mood for formal occasions too.

So many great titles and these arrangements are gorgeous. They're hard enough that they take a little bit of practice but you don't have to spend too much time on them. Great for dinner parties, etc.
