From: Sorcha Several versions of Otter's Holt can be found at Walshaws' web wide abc index, Click here Wait for the page to load, then use the Edit/find button. You need to be able to read or have a translate program for ABC notation..and change the key to suit yourself. Andy sings in C#minor a lot. It suits his voice. |
