Thanks for the beautiful legible tab, John.

Thanks for the Heartaches tab, John.

Excellent, professional tab, beautifully printed.

Enormous help for beginners like me.

Appreciate your advice, effort, and friendly nature.

With all the great steel players and band members at the Jamboree, a bright spot for me is always Ronnie Miller and The Pridesmen.

Don't miss them.
