In 1970 the Ontario government prepared a book of All Time and Old Time Favourites to be available to all Senior Citezen Homes, Clubs and Centers, and adult Charitable Institutions for use by the members, residents, auxiliaries and staff. But these contained only the words! In 1973 the Markhaven Committe produced a music book to go along with the word. The songs are pitched a little lower, in a key that is easier for seniors to sing, and tha arrangements are simple enough for most pianists to be able to sit down and play.

In 2013, at the age of sixty-nine, with some time on my hands, I decided to learn to play a musical instrument (again); this time, I decided on the harmonica. Thank goodness that I did. I have since learned the beauty and versatility of the harmonica. I started by buying a set of DVDs over the Internet and started my journey into the harmonica. At the end of the lessons on the DVDs, I met my first hurdle. Where do I go from here? I searched music stores and bookstores for books of songs in the key of C and of the kind of songs I wished to play (standards, classics, easy-listening)no luck there. With my limited computer knowledge, I turned to the Internet. I found hundreds of songs for the harmonica, with quite a few in the key of C, but not too many in the genre of choice. It took me quite a while to put together a number of songs in the key of C with tabs added, as I could not read music. I then practiced these twenty or so songs until I became proficient enough (and confident enough) to go busking. While busking, several people talked to me about their attempts to learn to play the harmonica and how they had given up. From these conversations, I discovered many people had experienced the same hurdles as myself. In order to help people to discover (or rediscover) just how easy it is to learn to play the harmonica, given the right tools at the right time of learning, I decided to publish this book. I am certain it will help you as much as it did me.
