Yes, very nice!

Also a cool write up about Converse's "Tab" book.

Eli printed the Oriental Dance that Greg and I worked on and I fear he did not give Greg the proper credit due. His musical expertise was well one 50% of the arrangement. I was along to give advice (and set type on the computer machine).

I also have since removed the "quadruplet fingering." The printed version still has it. So ignore the right hand fingering and still plays fine. There is a article that goes along it but was not ready for publishing.

Well done Joel (and Greg)! If the article isn't published anywhere, perhaps you could post it here?

The Converse TAB is pretty cool, it is even more like modern TAB than the Brooks & Denton stuff. I was able to sit down and sight-read it instantly. That's another Converse book you need to get up and online...
