Hi Jerry.
Your lessons are great. Thank you for helping me play the songs I been loving for 40 years! This summer have gone through Lover’s Cross (also my favorite) and this week learnt Alabama Rain. Hope you may consider in the future a lesson on “It Doesn´t Have to Be That Way”. Look forward to new songs and videos on your YouTube channel.
Thank you
Fernando

Hi Fernando. Thanks for the kind words. I will be doing It Doesn’t Have to Be That Way (and several other sof his). Should be next year some time.
Steve says
Thanks Jerry…do you think you can include Maury’s parts in some of these great Jim Croce songs?
Jerry says
Hi Steve
I had to make a decision to either make more Croce songs with just his part or to go back to ones already done and add Maury’s part. At this point I’ve decided to go ahead and make more songs with Jim’s part. I know it won’t please everyone but I had to make a call.
Never say never, but it wouldn’t be any time soon for Maury’s parts.
