    If you need any of these to fill out your collection, then let me know. Obviously, the earlier works are the best, but there's still some good things to be found in the later stuff

    Art of the Acoustic Steel String Guitar 6 & 12
    Bonn ist Supreme
    Rainbow Thunder
    The Falconer's Arm I & II
    The Voice Of The Eagle
    twilight peaks
    Visions of the country

    Thanks Jerry! Actually, I couldn't pin down The Voice of The Eagle, and haven't tried yet for Visons of the Country. So, either or both of those would be much appreciated. Paz.
