This is a tough one to find a source for.

It's in Mayfair Music's Nancy Wilson volume of sheet music for $27.

But you can get it for a $5 donation directly from the Billy Barnes Foundation:

Doug Mackenzie will sell you a transcription of the accompaniment for $1.20 if you buy at least three different transcriptions from him. Or you can copy the chords from his YouTube video with scrolling accompaniment:

I used to listen to June Christy sing this when I was kid. Glad to see this one ...

Hey Amy,
Go ahead and try to create an iRp chart using the lead sheet ray provided. Post it here.

It's easy to input a new song

You can use pause/play, pause/play step through it slowly.

If you have problems, post your work in progress here and describe the issue.

https://kellerjazz.com/music/ This site has a wealth of mp3s and charts. Looks like a lot of the charts are from the old Real Books.

Something Cool - - Billy Barnes

There were several ways to add "ink-saving shortcuts" to the circulation of this transcription. I thought the best compromise for readability was to present it once-through, top to bottom.

That's pretty useful, Ray. Thanks much.

The Master Index has no direct relation to the charts that follow, but it is useful for finding which fake/real books its tunes are in.

The charts and mp3s are from a variety of sources, including Hal Leonard's legal updates of the old real books.

Cheers,
Jer

June Christy version

Something Cool (June Christy) - Billy Barnes


The tricky thing about this song is that the C section is rubato, and June Christy sings the last ~6 bars in a way that's a little hard to notate. Hope you all find some value in this chart!
