Here we include relevant information about the sheet music such as where it was published, plus links to the sheet music page (if we have sheet music) and the card in Bob’s repertiore box (if we have it). If we don’t have either use the text “We do not have any sheet music for this song.”

(NOTE: Some songs were never published or recorded and only exist as a copy of handwritten lyrics. In these cases, delete the “Sheet Music” and “Recordings” sections and insert the image of the handwritten lyrics below “About This Song".)

(NOTE: Some songs were published through Bob Ross music. They’d send a copyist to Bob’s house; Bob would dictate the song while the copyist made a rough draft, then they’d make a clean copy from that. Sometimes the original song page includes an image of one or more of the rough drafts. In those cases, on the new site we’ll create new pages for these and link to them, so you’ll want to add text and links something like this:)

We have both his original "Autumn Reverie" lead sheets and the later printed "Empty Arms" sheet music published by Bob Nolan Music, Inc.
