MT folio

For any who may be interested, this is my folio of 15 songs for my exam in a week and a half. Have to have stuff for across the life span and the song choices are very much dependant on what I can play on guitar and sing at the same time.

Anyway, if you have any other ideas or find or anything thats just stupid- let me know

or if you don't mind listening to bad guitaring and ok singing it'd be good for me to practice on a live audience.
