Subject: ROXANNE – THE POLICE
Date: Wed, 7 Apr 1993 05:40:41 GMT
Well it has started. After posting my article yesterday, I have been
flooded with requests for Police songs in Tab. So today I have sat down,
in between lectures and typed in Roxanne for your playing pleasure.
Since I am doing a number of songs, I would like a favour in return. I
would like a list of good quality bootlegs of Police concerts and where I
can get a hold of them expecially in Australia. That’s the bargin, info
for songs.
Stay tuned for more songs.
