[@brucejeric6701]

Me again kent. Could you give us a lead sheet in the key of C?

[@KentHewittpiano88]

Please write to my email...thanks!

[@brucejeric6701]

Ok. I will now.

[@brucejeric6701]

@@KentHewittpiano88 Sorry I tried kent. Looks like your email is Hotmail? Anyway I tried and couldn’t get it on your website page. I’m pretty stupid! I had asked for my romance in key of C. I’ll figure something else out. My iPhone computer skills will never get better. Things like band in the box are beyond my comprehension. I got thd app but can’t use. Just like amazing slow downer. They even sent me a tutorial a couple of years ago. It might as well havd been written in Greek. Haha. I will play tunes in the keys I find them. Keep it fun. I appreciate all you share. Thank you
