Subject: RE: Obit: Lou Reed (1942-2013)
Last night I tried to pick my way through "The Kids" on concertina - I think it could work well, in a gruelling sort of way. The ninth chords are a bit of a sod, though. (At least, I assume they're ninth chords. The tab I'm using has an A9 but also an "Aix", which baffles me slightly - minor 9 (A/C#/E/G/B)?))

Sad loss, anyway. A friend asked me once who I thought had made the single biggest contribution to popular music. These days I'd probably nominate Dylan, but back then I said John Lydon. My friend looked genuinely surprised & said he'd thought there was only one candidate - Lou Reed. I think he had a point.
