Going off my somewhat suspect memory here. I believe the massif central books were published by Matt Seattles' Dragonfly music. As far as I know, Matt closed that business down a few years ago. I seem to remember that Dave Mallinson music was going to acquire and publish some of the Dragonfly catalouge but I am not sure that included the massif central books.(www.mally.com) It doesnt look like he did though, the mally site used to have a section for 'french' music but that link isnt there anymore. sorry to be less than no help derek ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thursday, May 22, 2008 12:24 pm Subject: [HG] Massif Central books To: [email protected] > While we're on the subject of keeping essential books available, > I am concerned about the two Massif Central tunebooks by Mel > Stevens, which are a pretty essential reference for French > players.
