This is only the intro, I've tabbed the whole tune AND the improvised solo.
It's all in the next issue of aloha Dream :-

It is only fair that I send to you the same message that I sent to Doug Beaumier a couple of days ago.
I must admit to having had a pre-conceived notion as to how the marriage of standard musical notation and tablature would look on paper. Assumed - erroneously - that it might be too cluttered. I was wrong. Your "combination" tab is clear, concise and on the money. I would hope that - given time - this approach would become the standard for PSG "tablature". It is sorely needed.

It is indeed Nic..
Why does the moon appear larger at the equator ?
Richard, thanks, my tab is usually for non pedal steel, but it could just as easily be for pedal steel.
I HAVE to make it this defined as the majority octogenarian subscribers to our magazine (Aloha Dream] require this level of legibility. !! |

The Moon does not appear larger at the Equator, but at the horizon. Reason: There is no visual reference high up in the sky, but close to the horizon you can compare the size of the moon with, say, buidlings etc.
It is an optical illusion.
A Million Moons will be larger than One Moon, of course.  |

Also, if the moon is directly overhead in say London, it would appear smaller than if it was overhead at the equator, Because the centrifugal force of the Earth spinning makes the atmosphere deeper at the equator (It bulges, a bit like my middle)
The magnification effect of the atmosphere is greater.
Also witnessed by the moon's apparent size when low on the horizon. You're looking through 80 miles of atmosphere as opposed to 20 miles. |

| Basil, I doubt that 80% of steel guitarists can read music. The steel guitar is still a folk instrument. |

...because I wrote an extensive expanation of why the sun or moon look bigger as they approach the horizon, which is a well-known optical illusion, and then after writing it realised that you were referring to the Equator, so I deleted it. |

| Well that's "Put that to bed" but I'm unsure about finishing the tab, it's a bit "Cheesy" !! |
