Lutes U Sir!

Just temporary - to permit approval by my commissioner! I've finished composing it and I'll learn to play it properly if you want it Stephen. Final will be on nylon strung. Both have a few mistakes but you should be able to work out where! The second one is nearly right.

A Message From Martha


Written as a response to the BBC Radio program on the extinction of the Passenger Pigeon. Thanks to Puff the Magic Dragon for the scan - well extinct/mythical - not much difference really! And appreciation to John Herald who wrote a song on this theme well before I did. Nothing new under the sun - not even pigeons. Guitar by me; vocal by Jan Hough.

3 New Solo Acoustic Guitar Pieces

Just finished and not really fluent, but video'd before I forget them. With a bit of luck I will tab them soon. "Deeply Floored" and "Gee Six" are in G6 tuning (DGDGBE) and "Lost and Found" is in Dropped D (DADGBE). These videos are AdM (Aide-Memoire). They are not performance-perfect.
