Country Music

I love this song.  Of course, I'll never play it as well as the red headed stranger.  It's got lots of nice room to play around in.  As a joke to ourselves we decided once that we would keep going up a half step each time around.  I rarely have the patience to stick with it all 4 times.  

All of a sudden Kansas City is on a national spotlight for it's "Jazz District"  Which makes me think, I wonder if we could ever play a gig at the Blue Room?

Such a seminal song and video from the late 90's.   We also play a Nirvana song, and I find it fascinating and actually not surprising that both Heart Shaped Box and Black Hole Sun are in Ab minor.  Seriously a bitch of a key, but at the same highly instructional.  

I remember fondly the big smiles all smeared across the people's faces and the lady with the man doing pushups and the couple with the great dane combing his hair and the "welcoming committee"  But of course if you are my age I'd wager you do too.
