I am trying this from a different approach. This old song by Don Williams is a favorite of mine. I have tried all of his web sites and found nothing. Can anyone help? Jeepman

Not by Don Williams, but -----

CIRCLE DRIVEWAY
As Recorded by: Gene Watson

I wish I Had a Circle Driveway
There's Too much for Me to Leave Behind
If I Only had a Circle Driveway
I'd just Ride around and Wave Goodbye

Well, it's Slam 'er in Reverse and Watch the Traffic
I don't Want the Kids to see Me Cry
It's Time to Find a New Direction
I'll Do my Best to get it into Drive

I really can't Believe She Packed My Suitcase
I can't Believe that both Her Eyes are Dry
The only Thing We didn't have Together
Was a Right-now Badly-needed Circle Drive

I wish I Had a Circle Driveway
There's Too much for Me to leave Behind
If I Only had a Circle Driveway
I'd just Ride around and Wave Good-by-y-ey-ey

Jeepman, I have not heard this song but I bet if I did the chords would be easy to work up. Or maybe Gene will.

Hey Susan. This is a sweetheart of a song. Chords should be no problem. Trouble is, I am Tone Challenged. Meaning I can't carry a tune in a bucket. No one will listen to me except me, but I am a good audience.

I unashamedly downloaded Don Willias version from Napster. Maybe you or Gene can come up withe the Chords.

Fellas, I am sound card challenged, so I'm afraid I can't do the chords.

Jeepman, I admire your persistence. Don't ever give up just because it's hard to make some of this work. It WILL all click eventually...it sounds like you are already immersed in the good music it takes to build up a "Tone Memory."

Example-- I CAN actually read music, although very slowly, and I just don't like to. And I don't have to!Let me learn a tune by hearing it, anytime. They get embedded... right now, although I have not heard "Miss the Mississippi" for years and never really learned it, it's been running through my head all AM, exactly as Doc W did it, but with little embellishments I can hear as if his band is actually playing them. By tomorrow there will be some new tune forming in my mind that is an offshoot of this one. Yesterday I could only get hold of one line of the melody, and now here goes my head creating an arrangement as though I have the score open in front of me.

See, the music in my genes-- my people helped start and have played in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and my great grandfather was a fine classical composer and dean of the prestigious Northwestern University School of Music. We don't "DO" music... music IS US. But the way music happens in me is much more organic than anything that is best captured, or expressed, or communicated with notation and rules.

So I didn't learn music theory. And when I became the music leader for our church's new praise and worship service, I had to learn a whole new genre of music, and did, in a few months, by tape. The "rules" of that genre crept into my mind where they now live alongside all the others I have absorbed.

So this is the long way of saying-- You go, dude! Ask for any help you need, to make music the way it works for you. Just keep doing it.

Thanks, Gene, but sound card will not permit. And I am hearing it fine in my head today. I have a lovely, slidy-slurring fiddle part coming out as I whistle. (Slower than Doc, too, I think... a stately dance tune, people in old-fashioned dresses and cowboy dresswear.... I dunno if that fiddle part's on the recording or just in my head!) But I will visit there when I get the new computer for sure.

Jeepman-- I bet you DO have musical ability. I believe everyone does, but that some have been taught they don't, because they don't have the "right" kind. I like to help people find what kind they do have. I'd love to jam sometime. Maybe you just aren't wired for solo? Anyway, if you ever make a tape, I would love to hear these songs that you care about so much. I'm already wondering what the next one will be!
