    I found 3 transcriptions of peg, deacon blues, and black cow in my box of drum stuff. Can't remember where I got them from but anyway someone had taken the time to write them out. I do remember playing along to those tunes with these dots, and they're pretty accurate. I've scanned them for your reading pleasure. 'Black Cow', line 7, bar 1, the hihat opening on the '+' of 4 is actually on the '+' of 3, but it looks like he's faintly put that in. It's spot on other than that. Listening to it again just now, it really is such a great tune. Here it is. It's actually 92bpm, not 96bpm. Splitting hairs!

    Something gavin harrison wrote for me many years ago, and some notes I scribbled at the bottom which I can't make head or tail of now [img]tongue.gif[/img]

    I was working on the song "Gaucho" but got sidetracked. I think I will get back to it now! Jeff is unreal on that one!
    Thanks Rudy.
    the little patterns at the bottom are cool, too! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

    It's unbelievable that these songs are almost 30 years old. MY GOD! I'm a geezer.

    Years ago my drum teacher got a magazine called "Drumcharts Magazine" that had charts (not transcriptions, charts) to several Aja and other tunes. I still have the one for Josie, Western World and Rikki. (I think I still have them).

    umm... Rudy? I'm getting a "We couldn't find the page you were looking for" error on those links. Or is that just me?
