Hi David,

You had a post last year where you had said you have a list of Blues Standards on your facebook page and I can't seem to find it.  The link in the post I was looking at was to the general facebook page.  Any chance you can post it on this site or provide a more specific link?

Thanks,

Ryan St. Gelais

Greenville, SC
