Subject: TAB:Peter Lang"Turnpike Terror"
To all.....some guy showed me how to play
this in the late 70's. I wrote the tab down
*years* ago based on what he showed me.
He in turn had learned it from somebody
else..... regardless....it works for me.
You gotta listen to it....... I can't put
timing to it.
Gonna paste it to the mail and add as
attachment....... an *oldie goldie* :-)
Regards.... Jim

With the recent of discussion re. Peter Lang, here's
a tab from his first album. Don't know what happened
to Peter...I recall reading that he quit playing professionally
and went to work for a computer company in the early
80's......anybody have any idea of his whereabouts??
As mentioned in recent threads, Peter was a great
player. I don't think the tunes on the Kottke/Fahey/
Lang album were a good representation of his best
stuff. "The Thing at the Nursery Room Window" is a
terrific album (if somewhat dated by today's standards).
The only tab of Lang's material that I'm aware of are
in "20th Century Masters of Fingerstyle Guitar" book which
he co-authored with John Stropes. I believe book is to
soon be re-released......
I learned "Turnpike Terror" from a friend in the late 70's.
I don't know what his source was, but to the best of my
knowledge, it's never been published in tab anywhere.
This is my best cut at it though.....
