Hi Jerry,
Thanks for this great fingerstyle song and for introducing me to the I.S.B!
Jerry says
They’re an acquired taste but if you ‘get’ them, they’re great!

Jerry, your song offerings are as diverse as a painting box. Thanks for giving us the I.S.B. as a color other than those in the “Coming Next” file.
Your lessons continue to be the best.

Thanks. Truth is, I listened to that album for the first time in many years and got an itch to do that song :)
