ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, DISCLAIMER,
AND WARNING

Go ahead, look at the cartoons. Enjoy yourself.

Then, after you· get home, pull the shades, draw the drapes, belly up to the old spinet, and belt out a song or two. You'll be amazed at how fast they'll either release your pent-up tensions or raise your blood pressure. We've tried to include a song for every occasion: family reunions, ward parties, weddings, church courts.

To get the most'out of this book, you need an LDS hymnal. If you have trouble reading the music and the lyrics at the same time, remember: If it's not worth doing, it's not worth doing well.

We'd like to acknowledge a number of people for helping us put this book together, but they said they'd sue if we did. We'd also like to thank all the zany folks in Mormonism whose good-natured quirkiness provided much of the inspiration for this book. To them we say, have fun and don't ever change.

Some people are probably not going to laugh at this book. We pretty much know who you are, and to you we can only say ... no, we're not going to refund your money.

We should also warn the unsuspecting that these songs have not been "correlated." Some pieces should not be sung in the presence of children or people in polyester suits. If you're a church leader and happen to like this book, for heaven's sake don't leave it lying around where anybody can see it; you're supposed to be a good example. And, last but not least, if you hold an event and use these songs, that's fine with us, but if you make any money, remember to to send us our cut.

Paul and Cal
