It’s coming Steven
Ken Reid says
From an entirely selfish point of view, some personal favourites would be,
Leaving London,
Cindy’s cryin’,
Annie’s going to sing her song,
Outward bound,
The willing conscript,
Bottle of wine,
Central square
Hold on to me babe,
The last thing on my mind
Ireland,
Redemption road.
I hope some of those are on your list, Jerry. I would love to play them exactly as Tom does.
Ken Reid says
Just bought this. One of Tom’s early gems. I really hope that you will post lots more, which I look forward to purchasing and learning. They sound deceptively easy to play, but once learned they are so melodic and addictive. Keep ’em coming, Jerry!
Jerry says
I think I have about 7 more on the to-do list Ken. I’m happy to add more than that if I’m missing some popular ones.
