transcriptions

I've been working on some new transcriptions for the book and I've found several books that have given me ideas of tunes to include. I've also met some musicians that have new music that is appropriate. Pianist Gonzalo Grau added a merengue of his that I like a lot, and Alfonzo Moreno has a waltz, and even Nene Quintero has a tune he wants to show me.
I just finished creating a database in Filemaker to organize all the transcriptions. This is very helpful to see what I already have and what I still need to work on.
The response to this idea of putting all these tunes in one book has been overwhelmingly positive and it gives me the motivation to continue.
