hello, bob! someone may have charts to some of B.W. music, but, that's not the way it's played. bob's music was mostly improv. & bob directed & arranged the music as they played. whenever he pointed his bow at you, he expected to hear something you had never played before. when crownover worked with bob, gene would take the fiddles & help them arrange their parts. horns would arrange their riffs, & so on. irving berlin had his writers chart san antonio rose, & he recorded it that way, & it was a mess. He had to go back to bob. anyway, that's the way bob's music is played. maybe some of these guys know of music scores. i know one gal, val green, that studied fiddle at wtu, & plays b.w. music. i'll call her tonite, & see if she can help you. most of the texas playboys i know never even read music. later--------H-------
