<p>Thank you Martin for all that work!</p>
<p>I have to add scores to the MUSIC LIBRARY as it involves re-sizing, adding file numbers and names etc. etc. before the scores can be uploaded to the database file server.</p>
<p>I am busy on other things all day today but will add them asap.</p>

<p>Sorry it's taken so long but here is the Whitewash Man. The first version is more or less what I played at Whitley Bay but when I listened again I heard some other things. So, I've done a revision including those although not every detail and flourish is there. Also, listening again, I can't hear the thirds in the first theme that are in Steve's transcription of Van Eps' own score. Anyone able to hear them ? Perhaps Van Eps revised his own music ?</p>

<p>My teeth were ground down to stumps by the end of this example of attempting to play a piece too difficult for you! This is an exercise in gurning, bad timing, sheer panic and tooth grinding. Don't try this at home ;-)</p>
<p>The best part is that it only lasts three minutes !</p>

<p>Thanks Martin, It is very good to see you here!</p>
<p>I really like Whitewash Man and would love to see your "new" score and if you could add any hints on fret positions, or the way you have found it best to play that would great as I will try it out again ;-)</p>

<p>Thanks Carrie ! I find I have to memorize them to stand a chance. Just looked at the PDF I posted and have spotted some things that aren't right which I changed and didn't get round to changing in the music. I'll edit it and post again.</p>

<p>Just spotted this ! All of the numbers are from Van Eps recordings. I did write some of them out, I'll have a look...</p>
