This piece will take some practice to get under your fingers. Pay attention to the right hand
fingerings indicated in the notation. These will let you know exactly how the chords should be
fretted. When I arranged this piece, I wanted it to have a march feel......a sort of "Stars And
Stripes Forever" for the holiday season. Enjoy!
