not sure whether I already shared this first one with you guys (and dolls) but it is a song written and composed by a friend of ours ( Stefan van de Sande) who is a singer-songwriter/troubadour and generally performs with only his guitar. The original recording made in 2012 can be found overhere ( go to the righthand downside to click and listen):

Earlier on this year I re-arranged the song and recorded it with the Korg PA1000. I even threw in a video to include on my youtube page:

For the first time in 20 years I managed to record an album not touching any key but only using my guitar. I know this is not the place to highlight that kind of stuff but being very proud of it I will include my simple ( totally different) arrangement of Country Roads:

I shared some things many years ago, when I first got my 2100.... I listen to them now (just found the files on my HD), and realize how little I knew!!
Hoping to share in the very near future!

Very nice John, it was interesting hearing your spin of your friends song. Both were very good but I preferred your rhythmic interpretation. Thanks for posting!
