WhoDunIt - The Arrangement

Is there any chance of adding a supplement pdf to the lesson with guide lines to the arrangement.
Between the lesson and Notation, I'm having trouble getting my head around the arrangement logic.
In the lesson you say:
Whereas m2 - m9 measure m9 ends in G, which you explain takes me back to A1.
Have a look at the image below, any help to clarify my thoughts, would be great.
Thanks

Hey Dermot,
I think you've got it but maybe a thought or two. I think of Section A as really an A-A-B-A 32-bar form. When it repeats I omit the 2nd A (making it A-B-A), and at the end I just play A-A. Those 3 A Sections then just alternate with Sections B and C. The mini A section ends with the low G only when it goes back to another mini A, otherwise it ends with the low E.
The original recording on Cobble Creek kept all three A Sections intact at 32 bars. I frequently shorten pieces in concert to be able to play more tunes in a set and this is how the shorter version evolved.

Would that be the repeated section A1- measures 10 - 17 because measure 17 ends in open E ?The walking bass is always sandwiched between 8 measures of the main them A1
Whereas m2 - m9 measure m9 ends in G, which you explain takes me back to A1.
