A potpourri – a medley to pick and choose

Each week or so I will select seven songs from my treasury collection, gathered over the last decade and a half plus, to showcase on this page.
Many will be seasonal, others topical and some just old favourites.
Requests and comments will be appreciated.
Each song will be linked to YouTube and a PDF with sheet music, chords and if needed how to play.
These will form an archive that can accessed on the menu.
Words and music by Dany Rosevear ****
