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.....
