Ostroushko song tabbed

[Kelly_guy]

Peter Ostroushko has several songs written out in standard notation and available on his website:

One I heard on Prairie Home Companion and just loved it; he calls it "When the City of Angels Sleeps". A recording of the Prairie Home show is available on their website.

Since I don't read much standard notation and don't really want to learn right now, I thought I'd use TablEdit to write the whole thing out. A very useful feature of TablEdit is the "transpose"; since Peter wrote his out one octave low, I can just transpose it after writing it out. Voila!

Anyway, I'd like to upload the file to Co-Mando; do I need to get Peter's permission for this first?

Hey, Kelly Guy, my advice is to write to Peter himself. He's been known to answer his own emails. #Very nice guy, I might add.

OK, I emailed him. I want to correct a few things on the TablEdit score anyway, over the next few days. It's a great song to play, and just about the tempo that I can handle at this stage! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

It reminds me a bit of a Choro, actually.

Peter gave me permission to post the tablature. The song "When The City of Angels Sleeps" can be heard on an archived Prairie Home Companion show at

The TEF file of both the standard notation and mandolin tablature is attached.
