I would be over the moon to learn ‘Little Tin Soldier” the way Donovan plays it. It’s the perfect song to sing to children to get them interested in playing the guitar. What’s better than a little tin soldier with only one leg falling in love with a tiny ballerina in a little glass case? Priceless!

A great collection of Donovan tutorials here. “West Indian Lady” from The Hurdy Gurdy Man album would be a good addition.

How about “London Town” ? :) Love your stuff thank you.

Please check the songs that are on the site before writing messages like this.
Remember the Alamo was done several months ago.
Thanks

It isn’t on the to-do list so far. I’ll add it.

The version of Donovan’s “The Olive Tree” from the Sunshine Superman DVD, i.e. the one that shows him sitting cross-legged playing and singing it.

I was hoping for “why do you treat me like you do”. Are you going to do it.
