Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

Hiya Paul,

I dug through the link to your song list and actually found a few I think I can mangle really well

Hard Day’s Night Beatles Key of G
While My Guitar Gently Weeps Beatles Key of Am
Back in the USSR Beatles Key of E/A
Nowhere Man Beatles Key of Em (I capo at 2nd fret)
Take It Easy Eagles Key of C
Mary Jane’s Last Dance Tom Petty Key of Am
Mr. Tambourine Man Byrds Key of D
Eight Miles High Byrds Key of Em
Want to Be a Rock and Roll Star Byrds Key of G

I do have a Beatles Chord book and TP & Heartbreakers chord book I can bring so I don't get too lost.

Steve -- we're glad you are making the trek down !! Glad to have you aboard.

Don't worry about using "cheat sheets" -- we have several music stands around the stage, which everybody is sharing, mostly cause people get mixed up on lyrics, verses, and which comes after the Bridge, etc. Or maybe half of us know half-the songs and the other half of the Jam attendees know the other half of the tune... so we get it together with a little help from chord charts & music sheets and some improvising ....

I also tried to e-mail you a bunch of MP3s of Plimsouls, Smithereens, Echo & the Bunnymen, etc today ----
I may have overloaded your mail server capacity limits Sorry !

Sounds good Steve. Thanks Rich.

Ahem, ahem... B U M P ! ! !


All right local and semi-local forum brethren; there still are quite a few of you lurking or non-commital local forumites who have yet to respond....SPEAK UP!!! Y'all already know how much fun these events are, so c'mon, join up, or at least reply with regrets, sheez. This is more difficult than herding cats!

Bumpity bump bump. Some of us are getting together for a pre-jam jam. PM for details.

Bob Schneider sends regrets.

Well, this will serve to give this thread another little B U M P here !

I will see you guys at the Pre-Jam Practice at Noon tomorrow at Gary's place.
I'm looking forward to it.



Wonder if Kenny will stop by for some RRF "socializing" ....

Kenny .... you're welcome to stop by for a "visit", since you're opposed to pre-jam jamming on principle.

Can't tomorrow...I'm teaching high school kids Paul McCartney songs in Huntington Beach. No joke.

Ah, fun...but will you be at the 11/7 minicon?

12:23 p.m., crickets chirping ...

Well, Rich, Paul A., and I had a nice practice session. I hope we can have another when more locals can attend.

Good fun practicing today, Gary --- and that's a great music room there at your place !!

+1!

I had a good time rehearsing, and the atmosphere was great. Even with just the three of us there I was reminded how much fun it is getting together and how much I'm looking forward to seeing everyone on 11/7.

There will be another practice session tomorrow at my house, starting around noon. PM me if you have questions.
