I don't remember for how many years I've wanted to have songbooks available. I started Celtic Lyrics page of the Brobdingnagian Bards in around 2000. I updated it with new songs for my Irish Song Lyrics website. There's a reason I don't have a songbook though. I don't read sheet music well. I'm even worse when it comes trying to transcribe song notations.

That all changed thanks to Samantha Gillogly. Samantha plays fiddle with my hobbit band. After a few months working with her, we finally finished the Hobbit Drinking Songs Songbook featuring all twenty tracks from my CD Don't Go Drinking With Hobbits. The songbook features lead sheet music, chords, and lyrics to all the songs on the album.

The physical copy is not yet available. Look for it at the end of November. In the meantime, you can buy a PDF copy of the sheet music right now that you can print at your leisure.

Oh! As a side note, Samantha Gillogly released a two new MP3s in the past month including one hobbit tune. Check 'em out!
