Hi Jerry. Do you have any songs from The Band on your list? Like the The Weight or The Night They Drive Old Dixie Down?

Hi Jerry,
I am looking forward to mastering Helplessly Hoping. There is another beautiful song on this CSN album called ‘My Lady of the Island’. Is there any chance that you could do a lesson on this also?
Many thanks,
Roger
