TheSession.org does seem to be down at the moment. I’m sure it will be back before too long.

If you read music, try this (from the same source Mike provided):

Yep, that’s a lot closer to the setting that Tommy plays.

Yeah. There are other versions at:
http://jc.tzo.net/~jc/cgi/abc/tunefind

I find that a really useful site for searching for abcs. If only there was a way to filter the results to get the version/setting I’m familiar with without looking at the scores!

Stay hoopy,
Mike
