I think we could do well to respect the oral tradition, and share
what we know with each other, without over intellectualizing it.
Good thoughts C. There is someone doing just that he charges a
pittance for his knowledge as far as I am concerned. I am not in a

First video I downloaded cost 3.99. Just a short chord melody intro.
More involved stuff i.e. whole tune in block chords was about ten

have to live in a city. You have to decide if that's a good trade or
not. But it's no problem keeping me `upon the mesa.' {;^)>
