Subject: RE: What the 'F' is goin' on at Mudcat?
I got so into my baby HTML that I forgot about my other F-chord story. I saw Stefan Grossman at the Troubadour in London in 1978. He demonstrated how to play the F with the thumb on the sixth string, and said, "You should know that Andres Segovia doesn't play the F chord this way." Then, after a pause, "That's because he can't."

By the way, Rick (or anyone), if you want to do the F-Chord Song (and I hope you do), try playing a different (wrong) chord on the word "wrong" each time through the chorus. And the last chorus is kazoo obbligato.

Aloha,
Mark
