That is great! I also love to play aires. I think I have played Down By The Sally Garden every day for the last 3 years...and I am still working on it. I think I will check out Hills of Lorne-I don't know this one.

Seasons Greetings and Happy Whistlin'!

Does anyone know of any music on the net that has gracenotes on it-like cuts and rolls and such-as a learning tool? Thanks a trillion!
