Woody:

I got it, six pages. Thanx loads. I've been looking for this music for a long time. Too bad Pat's complete fingerstyle arrangements to the songs are not transcribed, only the intro and then the melody line, but it's a good start.

I see you transposed "Separation Blues" to a new key. Is it easier to play that way? Sometimes I think that, if the pitch of the record is off or the guitarist is using a capo, the transcriber will put the song in a different key from the one in which it was originally played, making it that much harder for us to learn. If we only knew what chord shapes Pat played it in!

I see you've been reading my postings on various sites. Thanks for the "St Louis Tickle" too. This is the version that I play, from "Finger-Picking Styles for Guitar", by Happy Traum, Oak Publications, 1967. That is a great book. I'm now working on "Living in the Country", from that book.

I'm curious to know what other Pat Sky songs are in his songbook. Could you post a list of titles?

Thanx again, Alex M
