Thanks Budke!
One thing to remember is that Lo likes to change things up and play
inversions. So that F in "tide" sounds better played as a C shaped
barre chord than it does in the open position.
I know a whole buncha tunes (I'd better. I only stood front row center
for 4 years). I just need to find the time to post them.
