Hey Jerry,
Your request queue must be huge by now but just in case you’re ever thinking “I’d really like to do some more Moody Blues…”
…in a perfect world I’d love to see “And The Tide Rushes In”, “Never Comes The Day”, “I Never Thought I’d Live To Be A Hundred” and “I Never Thought I’d Live To Be A Million”… the last two arguably being A & B parts of the same song. Tricky devils those Moodies.
Apologies if I’ve asked for any of these before.
My mind has always had sieve-like qualities.

Aside from private classical guitar instructors, you are probably the only guitar teacher on the ‘Net to use the term, “brace” when discussing a measure. We are getting a sound musical education from you.
Robert says
Your arrangement of “Nights In White Satin” is worthy of the song, Jerry.
The combined flute solo and guitar runs are lovely.
I am glad that I waited to learn the song from you.
