Robert Weber says
Thanks for “Celia,” Jerry! Your lesson was perfect, as usual. We Donovan followers are fortunate that you are offering these lessons, since the printed music [of any value] is unavailable elsewhere.

I already bought Helplessly Hoping. If I buy four more songs can I get the 5 purchase discount?
Jerry says
I’m afraid it only works for lessons bought at the same time.

Terry says
I’ve been waiting for Wayfaring Stranger and jumped on it immediately. Thanks! Would be even better if you could perhaps add that acoustic guitar solo someday, Travis-style?
Jerry says
I have it tabbed out. I’ll try and work it into the schedule and send it out to all purchasers free. It’s a great solo.
