It sounds great, I need someone to sing it though as I can't sing, I try to hum it. Anyway send me what you have to ----> Richard216@aol.com. Thanks. I'll see if I can tab "Fom now on" and send it to you.

Great tune - actually, no need to send, I can play that one to death. My son can play about 30% of it so far, but we're working on it. He's a huge Peter White fan (he's the kid with the autographed guitar). I'd like to work more on "Yearning" - I've got most of it, but the standard guitar part is mostly backup. I'd like to get more of the melody into it. - -Robert - -- "When the flames have thier season; Will you still hold your reason?

Hi everyone!, I'm glad to see new people writing to this list. I spent one week to Cleveland (brr!), and my mail box was crowded with messages. 2. Probably we may have some sort of direct contact with our Basia through Nicholas, which has some family relation with her (Mother-son?), probably somebody on the list has Nick's Email address. 3. Rich and Robert please put me in on the guitar tunes, I'm specially interested on "from now on" hich I agree is the best guitar piece. I like "Three times lucky" too.

This is the crux of the whole schtick: Why must the typical Basiaholic be denied what every Tony Bennett fan gets to enjoy ad infinitum? I've been checking the latest lineups for the regional (i.e. New England, USA, for you folks geographically diverse) summer entertainment venues, and Basia is not listed - AGAIN! It was, what, 3 years ago that she toured in support of her latest release? Tony gets no rest at all, whether or not he releases an album: he has played Bangor, Maine eight times since the MTV awards alone!
