Subject: Lyr Add: SHORT'NIN' BREAD From: Roger in Baltimore Date: 13 Nov 98 - 06:44 PM Ace1base, From the dreaded Rise Up Singin' comes this traditional Southern African American song SHORT'NIN' BREAD
Please be aware that some African Americans may find this song insensitive, condescending, and tasteless. Others may see it as part of the African American heritage. The guitar chords given here are pretty basic. Many players would be more creative and more complicated. Roger in Baltimore |
