piano and acoustic guitar

leslie part sounds great, and the piano sounds better than an
acoustic (cheap imitation) but the acoustic is still playable if you
don't have a grand piano handy...  for the second part, only the
chords are given, as piano is difficult to transcribe through email.
a jazz pianist shouldn't have a hard time and playing the second part
as a second guitarist is very easy time.  good luck.
