hi, does anyone know the words for Walter Horton's Have a Good Time? there arent many but i cant hear them all. i am pretty sure the words on the lyric sites are not correct.

Fish like Peter,Pray like Paul,Dumb as they come,That's all, that's all

Spend my money,upon my clothes, I never have to worry,'cause my hair just rolls.

i am pretty sure that first one should be:
Preach like Peter, Pray like Paul, When judgement day comes thats all thats all

but i cant quite figure the second part

Did you ever put out a William Clarke tab book? I could swear that I saw one a few years back, and I was thinking that you might have been the one who put it out? If so, what ever happened to it?
Thanks,

A little OT: Learning to sing the blues?

Posted Thu, 04/07/2011 - 22:10 by melodiousthunk

Lately I've been working on my accompaniment playing. 'Cuz of this, I've also been trying to sing. I have to say I've been having a hard time. I used to sing in an indie rock band (singing my own tunes and lyrics) and did ok. Now that I haven't sung in quite a while and I am singing blues, I've been having a real hard time sounding anything close to good? Does anyone have any tips or know of any books or videos that might help out? Or should I just practice singing to blues albums?
Thanks!

Hey gang,
I have a cold and would like to practice on the harmonica.

Do I have to be concerned with germs and getting the same old cold again and again in the future?

What do you guys/gals do when you are not feeling so well and want to practice?

Thanks for your tips.
Chris

Because I don't have the cd (just heard it on radio), I was wondering if anyone has taken the time to come up with the position (or positions) and key that Adam is using. If you haven't heard it, try to - gotta love what he does and the attitude he has.
