I know this is a longshot, but I’ve tried every online source I can find, and several music stores. I’m looking for sheet music for Karla Bonoff’s song “If He’s Ever Near” and I think it may have been included in a songbook she put out back in the late 70’s, early 80’s. Of course it is out of print…we’re talking really obscure here…but The Dope has worked miracles before!

So does anyone have this sitting on their bookshelves or in their piano bench? I just need a copy of the one song so Lillith Fair can accompany me during a Valentine’s Day concert at our church. The local folk music program has been giving this song a lot of play recently, and I’d love it sing it, but we need the score. Or can anyone give me ideas on where else to search on the web? I’ve tried all the local college library links and places likes SheetMusic Plus…ever Karla’s website is looking for a copy!

Oh, and I forgot to mention that Linda Ronstadt also recorded the song, so it might be included in a songbook of hers.

Thanks…I’d read that depressing paragraph…pretty bad when even the website for her own band can’t find a copy. But I have faith in the Dope…
