347.0. "BOC sheet music?" by GEMVAX::GRANT () Mon Sep 28 1987 12:53

My 18-year-old son is learning to play the guitar. He's been taking 
lessons from my husband (who is self-taught) for the past six months 
or so, and has been taking lessons in school since the beginning of 
this school year. I have never seen him enjoy anything as much 
as he enjoys playing the guitar. After an hour or two of playing, he 
even does his homework and washes the dishes without being asked!

Recently he has been trying to find sheet music for his favorite 
group, Blue Oyster Cult, with no success. The Harvard Coop doesn't 
carry any. Neither does the Boston Music Store. He is going to call 
the Boston Public Library today to see if they have any.

If anyone in this notesfile could give me an idea of where to find 
sheet music or a songbook for Blue Oyster Cult, I would really 
appreciate it. Who knows, with something like that, he might even 
clean his room!

Thanks in advance,

Marleen

347.1	Check out G/PM back issues!	ERASER::BUCKLEY	IROC, Therefore I am	`Mon Sep 28 1987 13:04`	8
	I've personally never seen a BOC book before in any music store. However, I do know a few of their songs have been published in the Guitar for the Practicing Musician magazine. You could pick up a copy and reference the back of the mag, where they supply a list of back issues and the music contained in that issue. You might find what you're looking for. wjb
347.2	Just a thought...He's worth it...right?	SONATA::LANGE	The things I do for money...	`Mon Sep 28 1987 13:37`	6
	Buy him a 2-speed tape deck. This way he can slow down the music,and pick it apart. This will train his ear,a nice talent to go along with his sight reading ability.
347.3	Im'loking for Stevie Ray Vaughn's	JRDV02::OOI	Joy to the world	`Tue Sep 29 1987 21:05`	7
	Like Marleen's son I'm looking for a music sheet of Stevie Ray Vaughn. I looked for them ,but maybe it's not published in Japan. Is it published in the United States ? If someone knows 'bout it,please let me know. Hitoshi Oi JRDC LSI group.

	re: .3 Again, check out Guitar For the Practicing Musician. They've printed transcriptions of a couple of SRV tunes ("Couldn't Stand the Weather", "Pride and Joy", possibly more). I played through the GRTPM transcriptions of the SRV tunes and they seem pretty accurate. db
347.5	I couldn't find it in Japan.	JRDV03::OOI	Do you believe in love ?	`Tue Dec 08 1987 19:34`	10
	> Again, check out Guitar For the Practicing Musician. They've printed > transcriptions of a couple of SRV tunes ("Couldn't Stand the Weather", > "Pride and Joy", possibly more). Thank you for good suggestion. I checked some book stores,but it seems not to be imported to Japan. I'd really like to get GFTPM. Does anyone know who publish GFTPM ? Hitoshi Oi in Japan.
347.6	Cherry Lane Music	AQUA::ROST	You've been living on solid air	`Wed Dec 09 1987 09:15`	9
	Re: .5 Guitar For the Practicing Musician is published by Cherry Lane Music, who are (surprise) a major sheet music publisher. How about someone sending Hitoshi a subscription card?
347.7	Rathole Alert !!!	FNYFS::PELLATT	Going body popping...	`Mon Dec 14 1987 12:16`	8
	Yo, while your at it, can anyone mail me the address of aforementioned publishers... I picked up a couple of copies of GFTPM about a year ago in U.K. but since then have never been able to find it - no sign in Switzerland at all. Thanks in advance, Dave.
