For those who feel about electric guitar the way turkeys feel about Thanksgiving, here's a small oasis of respite: a sampling of the many acoustic guitar tunes culled from various virtual albums on this site.

If you're an acoustic artist or fan and you're just discovering Leon Fullerton's work, this is an ear-friendly entry point.

The Beatles said: "All you need is love." Fullerton said: "All you need is a six-string flat-top. An ocarina or a har-moan-ica will do in a pinch."

As far as we know, he's never mastered the musical saw. He claims to be a cut above all that.

"Just hand me my old Martin, for soon I will be startin'
Back to dear old Charleston far away.
Since Roosevelt's been re-elected, we'll not be neglected,
We've got Franklin D. Roosevelt back again."
