When I want to learn a tune on my keyboard or cornet, I begin by getting the dots and chords as accurately as possible into my mini filofax collection.
Occasionally, I manage to find the music in a busker's book or somewhere on the internet; but often I have to work out the tune as well as I can by myself.
The appearance of my filofax pages is rough-and-ready but they can be very helpful as an aide-mémoire at some future date.
Below is an example of the results - in this case with Piron and Bocage's famous Mama's Gone, Goodbye. You can hear their very sweet original band recording (from 1923) by clicking here.
