Abide With Me is a well known Victorian Welsh hymn tune. The aim is to, as John says, “make the guitar sound like a whole congregation” when playing this one! A beautiful melody arranged with some very tasteful embellishments. Great Dreams From Heaven is a cheerful, 3/4 time tune from the repertoire of Joseph Spence, the great Bahamian guitar player and singer. A cross between a hymn tune and a calypso. There are a great many songs that are attached to this melody, one being “The Masters Banquet”, an early bluegrass song that the Stanley Brothers recorded.
