  1. I just downloaded your edition of “I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair.” Your transcription is easy to approach and very pretty. Definitely in the easy intermediate level. I am enjoying working through it. You should consider preparing a collection of Stephen Foster favorites for classical guitar. (Beautiful dreamer, My old Kentucky home, Hard times, etc). There is a need for something like this for guitar players. Thanks again
