05 Feb 01 - 10:19 AM (#390357) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: CIRCLE DRIVEWAY From: jeepman (inactive) Thanks, Thanks, that is just what I want. Now to find the chords. I'll try looking under Gene Watson. Jman |
05 Feb 01 - 11:30 AM (#390416) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: CIRCLE DRIVEWAY From: GUEST 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. ~S~ |
05 Feb 01 - 11:44 AM (#390423) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: CIRCLE DRIVEWAY From: jeepman (inactive) 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. Jeepman |
05 Feb 01 - 11:48 AM (#390429) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: CIRCLE DRIVEWAY From: GUEST,Gene Jeepman-email me at: * CLICK TO: GENE'S COUNTRY GOLD * for sound file of song- |
05 Feb 01 - 12:02 PM (#390439) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: CIRCLE DRIVEWAY From: GUEST 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. ~Susan |
05 Feb 01 - 12:08 PM (#390446) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: CIRCLE DRIVEWAY From: jeepman (inactive) Susan thanks so much for the encouragment. I really admire folks who have musical ability.I have a rule in my house,IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY MUSIC, GO AWAY. Jim |
05 Feb 01 - 12:13 PM (#390448) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: CIRCLE DRIVEWAY From: GUEST,Gene Susan-if you wanta hear Doc Watson's version of
Miss The Mississippi and You....email me/see above |
05 Feb 01 - 12:43 PM (#390482) Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: CIRCLE DRIVEWAY From: GUEST 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! ~Susan |
