    19th Century Air – Adapted from an arrangement by Frederick Noad. Tune has been used in a number of folk songs.

    Worried Man Blues (Bob Conroy) Wrote this song for my father. Glad he got to hear it and glad he had a sense of humor.

    Mango Tango (Bob Conroy) Guitar arrangement of my instrumental/surf SpyTones tune.

    Ain't Misbehavin (Fats Waller) Arranged by Bob Conroy.

    Cheek to Cheek (Irving berlin) Arranged by Bill Piburn.

    When Johnny Comes Marching Home – American Civil War song. Have an old xerox of this. Don't remember where the arrangement came from.

    Don't Hardly Know How to Dream (Bob Conroy) Without a vision we don't even know where to begin.

    Oh By Jingo (Albert Von Tilzer) 1919 Tin Pan Alley tune. From the musical Linger Longer Lefty.

    Tico Tico (Zequinha de Abreau) Brazillian choro from 1917. Adapted from various arrangements.
