The other night on the Voice a singer did Amazing Grace to the tune of House of the Rising Sun. Not a new concept but it works out nicely. It gives it a very different sound. A minor key sound.

Don't forget the trumpet. It was striking.
I told ya that, so I could tell ya this...
I picked up the uke and found that I didn't immediately remember the chords to House of the Rising Sun. I've played it thousands of times. A little play and try a chord here and there and then run through it a few times and I'm back in business.
So the moral to this story is even though you know something by heart doesn't mean that you don't have to get it out and work with it every once in a while.
hmmmmm Barstow, lovely town.We are off to the Bay Area today. 2 easy days in the saddle. Dinner Friday night at Chez Panisse Cafe. Visit to the ocean. See my family. Stop in Visalia on the way home to pick up roses for Mrs Pere's garden-in-the-making.
Maybe check in tonight from scenic Barstow, California.

So jealous. I LOVE that restaurant.
I got to meet Alice Waters and she signed a book for me.
Safe travels sir.
I'm feeling better about my booted kid this morning.
I don't think there was anything more that I could do for him. It's really down to the parents to put aside their "wants" and do what their son "needs". Mainstreaming him isn't going to make his communication issues disappear nor help him control his impulsiveness.
Still feel bad for the kid but I don't blame myself any more. I feel like the parents put his teachers and his son in a position to fail.
Oh sure, blame the victim.
You did nothing wrong, you can't ignore negative behavior. If they wanted him to learn something from you, you did the right thing, whether he learned anything or not, is not something you can control.
I fully understand. The difference with me is that I never really get the songs "off book" in the first place. There are songs I've played hundreds, if not thousands of times, but without the book I can't tell you what chords are in them, much less play them. Mental block?
