Dear ones,

I received the transcription from Tom.  He did a beautiful job, and I 
tweaked it a bit.  But, it works beautifully.

The reason I asked if anyone on the list had this piece is 
thus:  every year, for the past 25 years, I have performed in a 
service, sponsored by the Grief Support Center at SMDC, a large 
medical center.  I just returned from the gig.  This service is a 
remembrance for families and loved ones of children who have 
died;  needless to say, it is a very emotionally charged event, and 
beautifully done.  I usually perform renaissance lute pieces for 
it.  While contemplating this event, yesterday, I stumbled upon a you 
tube video of Jake Shimabukuro, on ukulele - 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaQhbqkCe0A&feature=related.  I was 
taken by how beautiful this was on a ukulele, and I immediately 
considered doing this piece in the service (of course, on lute).

Needless to say, Tom Draghon came to the rescue, as I hadn't the time 
to transcribe the piece, and asked if anyone had it.  After receiving 
it from Tom, I performed it with little preparation, and it went so 
well.  That piece seemed to touch many emotions, and there were so 
many who thanked me for it, as they felt it was the perfect piece for 
such an event.

Thanks, Tom!
