PS

I think the key is D, not G...

I also like this tune. When shall we play it together?

# Posted on April 14th 2003 by gian marco

Whenever you come to California (or i go to Italy?)!

At Half Way. On a boat in the ocean. In this case i suggest to avoid playing http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display.php/1585
