(CPDL, 456 KB)This book is a belated thank-you present to the legions of singers from the Tasmania University Musical Society who like me, would get up early every Saturday morning during the course of the academic year to head down to the Salamanca Markets at Battery Point, Hobart, and do our best to entertain the passersby, but most importantly try to sing well enough to convince the financially able to part with some of their hard-earned lucre. This collection is designed to update the old TUMS busking book with clear, legible, and reliably typeset versions of the familiar repertoire much as it was when I sang with TUMS in the early 1990s. Moreover, it is possible now to include a few items with slight variations to fix a number of longstanding errors, which should not prove too controversial.
