| jump in - learn this fab new tune to enjoy it while it is at its best! | |
| meat and potatoes | |
| played sometimes | |
| an old favourite but one that can still wrench those old heart strings | |
| a newie but might become a happy standard | |
| played a few times but which never really caught our imagination and may be forgotten | |
| we have played this tune to death, but everyone will know it - if you are a newbie it's a grand one to learn but not a good one to overplay at sessions. It will undoubtedly be a future classic when we forget about it and then resurrect it after a few years in the tune-vaults. |
