New Kid In Town, Keith Whitley

Post by John A. Russell »

This is a song about the Birth Of Christ, told in a modern language. (New Kid In Town) I had the honor of meeting and staying at the home of Keith Whitley's relatives, Dwight and Flo Whitley, (Keith's Brother and sister in law).
We spent time pickin and singing, hearing stories of Keith and his music.

I decided to bring this song to the attention of folks once again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3uGaCyzCVw

I am halfway through tabbing this song and will make it available till the end of this month.

Anyone wanting a copy. PM me your email address.

Kind Regards

Christmas

If you are looking for a song that has some beautiful harmony and is a beautiful Christmas song it is A NEW KID IN TOWN. Mr. Russell has provided us with an impressive tab. If pro players or those who play pubically added this to your set I believe you will receive very favorable comments. Merry Christmas everyone.
