I received my tab in a very timely manner and though I haven't played it yet it looks like a very well arranged tab. I really want to thank John for all his work and effort he puts in all these tabs for us.

It's great to see John Russell putting a few tabs on the Forum this past week. I requested his Blessed Assurance tab and got it by the weekend but was so tired after digging a 100 ft trench 13 inches deep I couldn't even think about trying the song so I decided to wait till Sunday night which would be rather fitting. Folks if you want to be noticed at church or anywhere else you need to get John's version of it as it will get you some air time. My cap is off to John for doing another great and as always as clean tab. Thank you John.

Well, I have yet to see mine, but no hard feelings. I have emailed and PM'ed a number of folks on here with no reply. Time to move on. I might get to meet some of y'all at shows, but no more here. Best wishes to all.

Thank you John, deeply appreciated. Your first response probably was routed off to the internet land of no return, it happens. Thanks for following up.

But others have not been as kind. I would love to stick around and see what other awesome tabs you come up with but I tire of other slights and of sometimes just being completely ignored. I may not have many years left and I do not want to spend time in hope of anticipated return emails/responses that never come.

Thanks again John, best wishes always!
