Greetings! I love this tune!!! “Man in the Mirror” by Michael Jackson. This was a #1 hit in 1988 when it was released off his 7th solo album, “Bad”. This has become a favorite of fingerstyle guitarists, and the first great arrangement of this came from Tuck Andress. In developing this arrangement I avoided listening to Tuck Andress’ version completely. I wanted to see how I’d solve musical “problems / puzzles” and afterwards compare to his. It’s amazing to see someone approach a tune so differently. Now that I have this arrangement, I plan to listen to Tuck’s version closely to see what I left out and incorporate it into the next version of this one!

Oh man I was strongly hoping to see your performance in L.A and talk to you in person… Maybe next time, Mr. Rafferty
Like that so much…

Not “Jeronimo” but Michael Jackson:
“Other single releases from the album included “Ghosts”, and “Is It Scary?”, which were songs based on a film Jackson created that year titled “Ghosts”.[44] The film, written by Michael Jackson and Stephen King and directed by Stan Winston, features impressive special effects and dance moves choreographed to original music written by Michael Jackson.[45] Jackson dedicated the album to Elton John, who reportedly helped him through his addiction to painkillers, notably morphine.”
