The CFTS Index


Songs (alphabetical)

Compiled by Dan Havens
This song index was compiled, in an amazing labor of love, by long-time CFTS friend Dan Havens. A few words of explanation: The notation "Supp" means that the song appears in the final issue, which is a supplement to Volume 11. This index also includes the tablatures and other arrangements that appeared in the instructional "Singing Along" column. Thank you, Dan!
