ROUNDS ABOUT ROUNDS

Musical arrangements by Barbara Green

Franklin Watts 1977

ISBN# 0-531-00125-3 Franklin Watts hardcover

This mammoth collection was my second song book. Babbie Green is a good friend and professional musician. (Her father was Johnny Green, a Hollywood composer and arranger.) We had a ball working on this. I picked all the songs, found the written music or sung it into a tape recorder and then Babbie worked her magic on the arrangements. I did all the historical research.
