Thread Name: Alice's Restaurant
Subject: RE: Alice's Restaurant
We were just having a discussion about the songs which share the Alice's Restaurant chord progression at a rehearsal the other night. A couple of friends have unknowingly used it to compose songs. Robert Johnson used it for They're Red Hot. Washboard Hank uses it for You Can't Tame Wild Women. John Hartford used it for Hey Babe, You Wanna Boogie?. Pink Anderson used it to sing Bring It On Home. I just found a song on Youtube called All I Want For Christmas Is Another Ukulele that uses the same progression. It's even used, with a different bridge, for Jada.
