Here's the rest of the cds in a chart for the same purpose-

I hope this solves some queries and helps if you're using the book for reference while listening. Also, it shows the track sequence on Speed 78 in the spots where that is different in the liner notes.

Thank you all for making Second Wind the no.2 book of 2009 in the Irish Echo! :pint:

Rafferty tune books “2.0” - “300 Tunes” and “Second Wind”

Post by lesl »

[Thread revival. - Mod]

Hello all,
Both the Rafferty tune books “2.0” are now available as print-on-demand at amazon in different countries. Here’s the main link: https://www.amazon.com/author/lesl

I’ve now run out of Book 1 except for 1 spiral bound left. Since I can’t currently reorder more print books, I put it up on amazon.. and then the same for Book 2. I still have 5, er, 4, spiral Second Wind’s left so if anyone wants an original please message me through my website. And feel free to ask questions or for help on any tunes!

Also may I reiterate that it’s not necessary to learn all 300 from the first book before you launch into your Second Wind. Though I have to admit, I did that. ;) I can teach you the tunes if you want lessons.

Charts- for tunes in the books on Rafferty albums, and book indexes, are downloadable free from my website here

Happy holidays everyone! :pint:

Hello all, just a note that I have no 300 Tunes left and only 4 spiral bound Second Wind left. The rest are on Amazon and not spiral bound. If anyone wants a spiral copy of Second Wind please email me via my website iflute.weebly.com/contact

Thank you!

Hello Chiffies,
I've just found out Amazon is doing something with raising the prices / costs for their books. They're not telling us when exactly this will happen. I clicked a button so that the books' "royalties" don't become zero. So if anyone's been thinking of getting hold of the Rafferty tune books, I'll advise do it sooner than later. Sorry about this! Thanks, Lesl

And - update - I just found I had 10 "300 Tunes" in a box that had been in storage. Well, 9 now. So 2 of Second Wind and 9 of 300 Tunes, in case anyone should want one directly from me. These are from the 9th printing, so spiral bound unlike the Amazon ones, and the 300 tunes books are in the original fonts, unlike the Amazon ones.

Tunes and Tales at the library this afternoon (3pm 21 May 2023), which should also be live streamed. Facebook at the New Providence Library page has the zoom link. Maybe 'see' you there!
