Hole In The Day tab by Leo Kottke

Guitar tabs

I cannot figure out who did this tab--it appears to be completely anonymous.
Too bad; it's a superb transcription. I've had it lying around on my
computer for years now, and I know I got it from Bruce Head's
www.guitarmusic.org--I guess I'll credit it to him unless somebody comes
forward about the matter.
