Subject: RE: Chord Req: Music Of Roger McGuinn and the Byrds
Sorry I haven't checked in in a few days. I remember seeing the Byrds for the first time in 69' with Clarence White,Gene parsons and John York later to be replaced by Skip Batten. I had already followed the Byrds with Crosby and Hillman but the fusion of Country,Folk,Jazz, and rock blew me away.I had the chance to meet them in 70' at the Capitol theatre in NY, played on Clarences Telecaster with the bendable "b"string. What a great guy he was as well as a musician. Roger I met and got to know a little bit in the next few years and e-mail him from time to time. He signed my 12 String Rickenbacker.
Since I have moved to Pensacola Florida this summer, I'm trying to form a Byrds type band. I'm doing some solo work but i teach music in a school in Escambia County.I have a lot of Rogers songs with chords if anyone out there would like to print a copy. Just let me know and i will scan what you want and I could e-mail a copy of the lyrics with chords.I plan on keeping in touch. It's just been crazy getting moved in and acclimated to a new job.

Take care everyone! Jimmy
