Right, Smokey!

I've been striving for that ideal all my life. Singing a song in, for example, a minor key when others do it in major—and with a whole lot more notes than I want to use—along with accompanying it throughout with only one chord, and that a Db diminished. And, of course, singing the verses in reverse order. And alternating at random between 4/4 and 6/8.

Quite a challenge. Even moreso that trying to pat you head and rub your tummy while playing the vihuela and tap-dancing at the same time.

But I persevere. . . .
