Thanks Bob.. that's a good start.

Only a few of my charts have the verse. I'll post some as I come across them. A major disincentive is that so many verses are rubato, which is okay on iRP for reading purposes but not so okay for using the Player function.

I have fakebook materials going back to the 1940s and I've never seen any that include verses. (I suspect they were dropped partly because bands didn't want couples standing around on the dance floor waiting for The Beat.) But I've actually had good luck finding them online. Search YouTube and vinyl archives: jazz-on-line.com and archive.org are invaluable resources. The closer you can get to the year it was composed, the more likely the recording will include the verse. And, of course, you can always buy the sheet music!
