[N] This next song is an oldie but a goodie.
It's a classical waltz.
It's called Tennessee Waltz by Pee Wee King and Reed Stewart.
The [Ab] version I'm doing is an Eva Cassidy, if you've heard of her.
She was a great, phenomenal singer and songwriter up in the DC area, but she passed away early
with melanoma cancer.
But she wrote some good things, and if you've ever heard her version of Somewhere Over the
Rainbow, it's outstanding.
