Subject: Sheet music - Lovers never say Goodbye

Question
QUESTION: My name is Dave Elvers and I sing with a barbershop quartet called, “Keepin’ Time”

I’ve always been a fan of Doo Wop and we’re looking for the sheet music to “Lovers Never Say Goodbye” by the Flamingo’s

We want to add it to our repertoire.

Any Suggestions?

Dave
PS answer by private e-mail as I'm only searching for the sheet music .... THX D

ANSWER: Hi Dave,
I'm sure you did a google search & found the lyrics, the best one is from one of the former members;

QUESTION: Sorry John, but I can't find John Richie on ebay or anywhere else. I'm not an ebay user so that's probably not unusual.
Word you have a link to his web site or e-mail?
That would certainly help.
THX Dave

ANSWER: Hi Dave,
You can contact him thru ebay, just log on to ebay, go to advance search(next to the regular search botton), click on by seller on the left hand side, then enter richiejw70 in the seller's id box.
You will see all of his current ebay items for sale, just select one of them & use the 'ask seller a question' to ask him about your sheet.
Good Luck !!
John

Not on E-bay they said "There's a problem executing your request" try try again. So I did did did .... same same same.
Looked in sheet music category, not there and Terry Johnson's website doesn't work either, Marvy says that Terry's on tour and won't be back til October.  If he's worried about privacy (who isn't) please send him my e-mail and he can contact me.
THX Dave

Answer
Dave,
I'm sure John will give you his email address, since he's selling a lot of items , it's just that I don't have it written down to give it to you.
Let's try a different way to reach him, log on to ebay, type in any of the following item #'s in the search box & on the right hand side of each is an 'ask seller a question' option, just click it & then you can send him an email asking if he has your sheet;
230292481097
230292479157
The Terry Johnson site just gives you the lyrics & it's just one of several on google that list the Flamingos lyrics. So if you enter;
flamingos lovers never say goodbye lyrics
into the google search box & they'll all pop up.
Try Again !
John
