Welcome to the first issue of the Guitar Chord/Tab Posting Club Newsletter (for lack of a better name:-) ). This grew out of my mailing list which became slightly more than I could handle with a regular e-mail account. From now on these newsletters will be posted (most likely renewed once or twice a week) at this same address. Prior issues will be kept online at "http://www.student.toplinks.com/hp/rovernut/pastpost.html" until the new issue takes its place. If you have not joined the former mailing list or new club, please take the time to fill out my form at "http://members.tripod.com/~rovernut/joinlist.html". For now, enjoy the music! You may click on the title in the index of one of the songs to go directly to it, or you may page through the entire document.
