Tadpole Tunes, the First Thirty,
was written in 1983, with the following inscription inside
the front cover:
"These tunes were originally written for the mandolin and tenor banjo, as
part of the self-imposed task of learning musical notation (tadpoles), an
artificial aid to music that I had hitherto scorned. Having written them, I
wanted to share them, so I have had them printed.
Also, I am a show-off !"
The tunes were taken up by a number of very kind people, and the slim, self-
published book went through two printings. It is currently out of print, out of
stock, and unavailable for sale.
Astonishing !
The Second Thirty is still available, though.
