handy list of old music search sites

Looking for old Public Domain (or maybe not) song sheets, lead lines or chord progressions? This collection of URLs has been posted on DJML (Dixieland Jazz Mailing List) and I have used many of them in the past. As tuba players need to know chords to EVERY song ;-) this sort of reference list is essential.

Fun to explore - do your own searches!
