When Woody Guthrie was singing hillbilly songs on a little Los Angeles radio station in the late 1930s he used to mail out a small mimeographed songbook to listeners who wanted the words to his songs. On the bottom of one page appeared the following: This song is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright #154085, for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin' it without our permission, will be mighty good friends of our'n, cause we don't give a dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote it, that's all we wanted to do - Pete Seeger, on Woody, June 67
Ernie will do a concert and workshop in Harrisburg, PA, for the Susquehanna Folk Music Society on February 12. Can't beat the price at $14 for the workshop! I'd investigate whether Ernie will be doing the CAGED thing he does sometimes at workshops, so you know what you getting into.
Essentially, it's a way to use the chord forms C, A, G, E and D, or pieces of them, as moveable forms up the neck. Pretty straight forward, actually. All for now. John C.
