I've heard reference to him by others and wonder if there are equally good songs from him? I don't believe I've heard him mentioned in here before. ( I'm doing a thread search now as I type this however) Don |

It contains lots of brilliant songs and as I only bought it a couple of years ago, I should think it is still available. I'll try and hunt it out and post the ISBN no. Sue vG |
