.

That’s why you need Jumpin’ Jim’s books.  Great collections of great songs, and his arrangements are always right on.  Here’s Jim’s website: http://www.fleamarketmusic.com/

.

Two of my faves are Jumpin’ Jim’s Gone Hollywood (FMM-B-118) and Jumpin’ Jim’s Ukulele Christmas (FMM-B-100)

.

There’s a version of the Dance of the Sugarplum Fairie in the Christmas book that is quite difficult, but EXTREMELY rewarding to play…
