Subject: Chord Req: Do You Know What It Means to Miss N.O.?
I'm trying to work up the nerve to start busking again after a layoff of about 35 years.

I figure I can put a "Katrina Evacuee" sign in my (borrowed) guitar case, set up shop in major commuter-rail junctions here in the NJ/NY area (e.g. Newark Penn Station), and develop an all-New-Orleans repertoire (plus, mayby, some additional songs on themes of homelessness, loss, etc., such as "Wayfaring Stranger," Like A Rollintg Stone," ...). Donations should start pouring in right away.

Yeah, I know, it probably doesn't qualify as "folk music," but I really do need to learn how to perform "Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans" ~ even if I don't "go commercial" with it. I'm drawing a blank when I try to figure out a set of chords.

More song suggestions are welcome, too.
