unfortunately, the pink and blue ( aka the massif central tune books no. 1 and no. 2) have been out of print for years. Dave Mallinson has reissued the non-copy righted material in a book called 'Bal Folk' www.mally.com - search tunebooks by genre then french. Blowzabella have reissued encyclopedia blowzabellica themselves and have a second book of tunes also. www.blowzabella.com The interwebs are also a great source of tunes. Try the Cambridge french dance site. http://www.cambridgefolk.org.uk/cam-french/ under music is a PDF with a ton of tunes. I would download that file, it hasnt been updated in a couple of years. who knows when it might dissappear.

There are two books generally referred to as the pink and blue books. Another source is a set of tunes put together by Mitch, he is on the list. Where are you located?
