It is really great that you are continuing to produce great video tracks. I really appreciate you calm patient style.
I have just purchased the Cat Stevens set and am looking forward to many hours of fun. I wonder would you consider a John Denver-as he played them set. I would buy for sure

Hi Mike,
Yep John Denver will definitely get done in the as-played format. in fact you’re not the first to request him so he’s climbing up the queue.
