Hi Jerry
Thanks I’m 73 & have wanted to play the songs I’ve down loaded from you, all my life.
I have a lot of work to do for I only have 3 fingers on my left hand. But because of your lesson’s,
Man I can work it out. One song in particular “Aniji” I have always said,” if I could play this song I would
be happy” Well I’m HAPPY!!
