Cliff Edwards (Ukulele Ike) fake book or song book

[Edspyhill05]

I’m looking for lead sheets or chord sheets for Cliff Edwards somewhat more obscure songs. They are probably standards from the 20’s and 30’s. Is there still a source for these songs? Songs like, “I’m telling the birds, I’m telling the bees”, “Anything you say”. Actually anything he recorded. (I love his mouth trumpet, or whatever it is called.”

Yes absolutely www.vintageukemusic.com is a fabulous resource, and it's a while since I ordered mine so it's no doubt even better now.

Otherwise, finding sheet music from that period can be a bit of a labour of love. I have found some by searching Amazon and Ebay, some on the website of Oxfam, some at https://www.sheetmusicwarehouse.co.uk/ and discovered some nice songs by rummaging various charity shops, junk shops and car boot sales.

If there's a specific song you're looking for, it's worth asking here.
