Lexman	Origins: Multi-Modulation Songs (11)	Origins: Multi-Modulation Songs	27 Jun 11
Years ago I picked up a song from a lame Baltimore street singer. He called it "Buddy Can You Spare a Dime?" because that was the first line (not to be confused with the Great Depression Song). I found out later the real name was "First Street Blues" and that it was written by Lee Greenwood. The thing that made it different was that every verse modulated up one pentatonic tone until you started over on the first verse one octave higher. Do any of you out there know of similar songs with more than one modulation?
