Dan,
Way Down Yonder... is not the song I'm looking for. I do know (remember)
the changes and the melody. I was looking for the recording so that I could
make my arrangement sound similar. I'd like my arrangement to be simple,
like Pete's, but I tend to make things a bit more complicated harmonically
than is necessary for such a song.

As far as the books go, I have the DeFranco book. It's excellent. I'm sure
the Fountain book is equally well done. I'd recommend the DeFranco book to
anyone whose interested in learning more about how he plays.
