I had never heard of Jacob Borshard (I believe that’s how he spells it) until I listened to Not Quite Rocket Science. You can download two albums free from his web site http://www.creebobby.com/. He even has chords posted for one of them. I likes “Brains, brains” and “Vincent and Theo” so much I posted words+chords for them both to my site. Check them out.
