Subject: RE: January Shanty Session at the Press Room
Too often, there are people in our circles who get REALLY GOOD, and we don't notice because it's an insidious thing. Steve's becoming a Force With Which To Be Reckoned. Ramona just plain doesn't know how good she is.
Jeff did a song about Willie. Not much help, as about a third of all folk songs are about a Willie. Chording on an Anglo?
Find a G, then an B Then the last note, it's a D Play them all and you will see You're chording on an anglo
Chorus: Chording I, chording IV There will be a V, I'm sure Then you go back down once more You're chording on an anglo
C's the IV, and the 'tina's designed So the 3rd note, E, is next in line But when you try to play the G, you'll find You can't do that on an anglo
A more appropriate chorus: Wheeze and suck, suck and wheeze Most chords come in groups of threeze You may have to settle for two of theeze When you're chording on an anglo
The D's the V chord you will play But you must decide the way Will it be a D or F#-and-A You can't do all three on an anglo
Play two out, play one in Over and over, again & again And someone might just do you in No oompahs on an anglo
Disclaimer: I don't know diddley-squat about anglos, and I only hope this is right. It WOULD be right if my button box were an anglo, and it was in G instead of C. If it's not right, let me know - I can fix it...or we can just pretend it never happened.
