Question
on their album "christmas card" i can't find and i like to have the lyrics and music notes to song "the carols kids used to sing"

Answer
Merry Christmas, Terry,

Unfortunately I can't provide you with that song.  The Statlers have apparently requested no posting of @ least that particular song on lyric sites.  That is why their music is so hard to get online.
I am not sure if there is any sheetmusic available. I can only suggest that if you have the cd, that you could set down with pen and paper (or computer) and  get the lyrics yourself, then tab out the chord progessions for accompaniment and if you can do your own manuscripting of the song, that's about the only suggestion I can provide.  I have to honor their request to not post lyrics.  

There are also programs available that can transpose music into notations.  Finale is one.  It's awesome.  I saw it @ work @ a music convention several years.  The software's progress was amazing.  The vendor was playing a saxophone and each note (errors and all) were recorded by the software.

I can usually locate song by artist, excerpts and even circa around when the song was released in country, rock and other genres. ****** PLEASE do not ask me about videos. I do not watch them.******** I've been singing since I started talking, singing in public since I was 7. Still at it at 56. I have an extensive repertoire as well as lots of music. I also actively research for other people, including local djs, music that no one else can find, especially being given just paraphrased lines of songs. I'm the one @ karaoke that usually gets asked, "Who did this song?" or "Do you know a song that goes" and if it's country, I usually can name the song and artist, sometimes give within a couple of years the year of release. I've got a lot of lyrics in my database, as well as friends with working musicians who do open mic jams who have even more extensive databases than I do.
