SUMMERS OF MY  LIFE
Friends, my objective here and with all the Vannelli charts
I have submitted is to have posted an accurate transcription
of his music for all of us to enjoy. If anyone feels they have a
better chord, note, passage, lyric--please feel
free to contact me at the Email address below,
and the necessary changes will be made! Since I am
a member of this site, it is possible for me to edit
 any of these charts.
