Sender: news@tamsun.tamu.edu (Read News) THE BALL OF KERRYMIUR --By Robert Burns, carried on and modified by oral tradition over the past 200 years,
This is sorta a Jim Croce song--he does a version of it on "Jim Croce Live: The Final Tour," but that version is much shorter (only about half a dozen verses) and his version is arranged for two guitars (this version is for one, as I have major problems playing two guitars at the same time). If you're feeling ambitious and sober enough to handle it, playing archipeggio figures instead of just strumming the chords sounds pretty great. Anyway, enjoy the song, and try not to play it in front of polite company.
