Mrs. McGrath D A If this comes out right, this is the way I play it. --seed |

23 Dec 99 - 02:44 PM (#153458) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Mrs. McGrath From: bseed(charleskratz) Oh, lord. I see I forgot to replace the apostrophe and quotation marks when I uploaded this from Claris Works: for some reason HTML reads CW quotes and apostrophes as apostrophe: 1 open quote: 2 close quote: 3 as for the chorus chords, I find Bmin works just as well as G: it doesn't change the overall sound all that much, and--when playing accompaniment, I'm as apt to play the Bminor, but in a break, the hand movement (in double C tuning on the banjo) down from the 2nd position C is a bit smoother to G than to Bminor. --seed |

It should have read "the hand movement (in double C tuning on the banjo capo at the second fret) down from the 2nd position D...because, of course, such a banjo is tuned to double D not double C babblebabblebabble. --seed |

23 Dec 99 - 07:49 PM (#153576) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Mrs. McGrath From: bseed(charleskratz) with my voice, any song benefits with an instrument playing along...and an instrument playing the harmony is a great aid to finding the tune for those of us who are somewhat challenged when it comes to reading music (oh, I know, folk music isn't written down, it's orally transmitted). --seed |
