Useful for Vocalists and Accompanists
While primarily for harmonica, this collection offers a strong melodic foundation. The clear harmonica arrangements can easily serve as a reference for vocalists learning the tune. The included chord symbols are accurate and simplify adding guitar accompaniment, making it a valuable resource for leading sing-alongs or for a harmonica player to join an acoustic group.

Handy Repertoire Builder for Harmonica
For a gigging harmonica player, this book is surprisingly useful. It has a great selection of recognizable folk and pop tunes, and the inclusion of accurate chord symbols is a huge plus for quick reference. While arrangements are geared towards learning, many are standard enough for casual requests. Good for building a diverse, accessible repertoire quickly.
