Trad. Arranged by Jack McGann ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guitar arrangements of Jack McGann. Many of you may not recognize Jack McGann's name as a guitarist since he never recorded commmercially. You may however recognize the arrangement. Jack was highly regarded among his peers for his arrangements of traditional blues, ragtime, and swing music. He was also one of the most respected and admired acoustic guitar teachers of the '70s and '80s. His arrangements have been passed on by his students, grand-students, peers, peers' students, etc. Jack was also a social activist, and became nationally known for his fight for equal health care coverage for persons with AIDS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cincinnatti Flow Rag Trad. Arrangement copyright Jack McGann Transcription and data entry by Allyn Dimock Permission obtained from the estate of Jack McGann for free distribution of this tablature for educational purposes. Please consider making a contribution of your time or money for AIDS research and/or for health care reform if you use this tablature. The "d" symbol means brush the chord from low to high, then immediately damp with right hand. It is interesting to compare this arrangement with Rev. Gary Davis' arrangement which may be found in tablature in the May 1976 issue of Guitar Player. This arrangement maintains the essential feel of the piece, but is substantially simpler than Davis'.
