Post by John A. Russell »

Hey All

Came straight back from surgery and started to tab.
I did this Tennessee Waltz, fairly simple version, but hopefully enjoyable.

Anyone wanting a copy, leave your email address and I will send you a copy.

Thanks, sincerely, to you who sent best wishes and prayers .

I have got to know so many of you now, through ths great Forum. (Thanks Bob)

Kind Regards

For those of us who live in the southeast United States, and literally all over the world, the Tennessee Waltz is a standard. It is one of ma favorite songs of all time. Once again, John has completed a fantastic tab. And this was done right after he had major knee surgery. John, a great tab, wonderful harmony, and great arrangement. Thanks John for all you do and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Another great tab of a classic tube done by someone I have never met, but as a southerner I consider a friend. Thanks John!

:D A very special thank you to John on this one. 48 long years ago, this was our wedding dance played by a family band. I have learned and play a version of the tune on both dobro and lap steel but have never attempted it on PSG...until now. John's surgery sure isn't effecting his ability to produce outstanding tablature for the rest of us.
