Subject: TAB: "Please Please Me" by The Beatles
Posting this in response to an EMAIL request. Don`t get to follow this
group much any more, as we`re kind of busy here at Digital keeping the
ship afloat. I can often respond to EMAIL requests for Beatles tab given
a little time, though. Feel free to ask.
