SYLVAN 350
I FOUND A STAR ON EARTH 51-50-51-52
Tune here shows promise, with warbler
delivering straight and clear, but botched backing hurts side beyond
redemption.
HOW COULD YOU? 51-50-51-52

DARLIN’ MINE 59-63-58-56
Dull warbling of an ordinary, nopunch mountain
love song.
JEALOUS HEART 63-66-63-60
