Here’s my take #46 of Dream A Little Dream. I can play it just fine. But when I hit record button I fall a part? must be some kind of Phobia.“Here’s My Song For January’s Challenge.” Richland Woman Blues” By Mississippi John Hurt. Taken from the book By Mark Nelson “Juke’n The Uke”. I have played this song every day for a hour or so. I have used a metronome which kind of messed with me. Need to work on that. I bite of more then I could chew with this song. I could you some one one Andrew. Hope the computer picks my name. Everyone has done a great job. Go Rockclass 101. PEACE
1. Execution: I hope to not trash this song “Richland Woman Blues Written by Mississippi John Hurt. Arranged by Mark Nelson. I plan to improve my finger picking and using my little or pinky finger to reach for notes . Timing Timing Timing my biggest problem . Might try and work with a metronome .
2) Application – I want to pick the notes clean and clear. On time
3) Evaluation – I’m going to record myself weekly here how I’m doing . Learn from my mistakes.
Here the song on You Tube.so you know what it’s sounds like.

kazoo over [D] [F] [D] [F] [C] [A] [G]
[A] Winding your way down on Baker Street – [Asus4]
[A] Light in your head, and dead on your feet
Well an [Em] other crazy day, you [G] drink the night away
And [D] forget about [Dsus4] every[D]thing
[A] This city desert makes you feel so cold,
its [Asus4] got [A] so many people but its got no soul
And it’s [Em] taken you so long to [G] find out you were wrong
When you [D] thought it held [Dsus4] every[D]thing.
[Dm7] You used to think that it was [Am7] so easy,
[Dm7] You used to say that it was [Am7] so easy
But [C] you’re trying, [G] you’re trying [D] now [Dsus4]
[Dm7] Another year and then you’d [Am7] be happy,
[Dm7] Just one more year and then you’d [Am7] be happy
But [C] you’re crying, [G] you’re crying [A] now [F]
kazoo over [D] [F] [D] [F] [C] [A] [G] x2
[A] Way down the street there’s a lot in his place, [Asus4]
[A] He opens the door, he’s got that look on his face
And he [Em] asks you where you’ve been, you [G] tell him who you’ve seen
And you talk [D] about anything
[A] He’s got this dream about buying some land, [Asus4] he’s gonna
[A] Give up the booze and the one night stands
And then he’ll [Em] settle down, it’s a [G] quiet little town
And for [D] get about everything
[Dm7] But you know he’ll always [Am7] keep moving,
[Dm7] You know he’s never gonna [Am7] stop moving
‘Cause [C] he’s rolling, [G] He’s the rolling [D] stone [Dsus4]
[Dm7] And when you wake up it’s a [Am7] new morning,
[Dm7] The sun is shining it’s a [Am7] new morning
And [C] you’re going, [G] you’re going home [A] [F]
