I thought some of you might enjoy listening to some great chord progressions and playing. I've never heard Mary Had A Little Lamb like this;

Torch.....good find. He's doing nothing magical with his chords, but he's flooded with really good arrangement ideas. That's what I've been doing lately. Taking "standards" and playing each one 20 different ways. He gave me some great new ideas. I'm going to watch it again tomorrow during my practice sessions.

Lyrics wise, this is the version of 'Mary had a little lamb' taught to me by my father.

MARY HAD A LITTLE SHEEP
SHE TOOK WITH HER TO SLEEP
THE SHEEP TURNED OUT TO BE A RAM
MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB

Arrrrggg, there we go, heading South again.

Mark, playing the same song in 20 different ways sounds like a good musical exercise.

Cgiles, Going South is fine with me, but was it you who said that we have an internet cop here

I heard a two liner:
Mary had a little lamb,
The doctor was surprised ...

Cue music:
To the station at the end of the town
On the southbound train going down.

Torch....this man is an excellent player. I know my chords real well, but I can't put them together like he does. I'm not even going to try. That's a whole art in itself. I'd love to attend a church service where's he's playing at. Thanks again for posting this. Good to hear good creativity once in a while.

Thanks Tony. Another cute one-liner that I can use safely in my act. It's politically correct as there aren't many lambs around that would get offended over it.

.....well, except for the bestiality part .

Here's one for the kiddies;

Mary had a little lamb
Her father shot it dead
Now the poor lamb goes to school
between two slices of bread

... But the little kiddies will be traumatized

ehhh, they'll get over it......OR, they'll grow up and become accordion players .
