The Forgotten Intro

hi, my name is kim logue and i come out to these things looking for someone to collaborate with, given my level of musicality.  i don't read music, and i am a beginner at playing it, but i have done a lot of work to find a voice.  now i am going to play you a song i have never tried in our club before, on my kala concert uke.  its a slaid cleaves song, She Wore Flowered Dresses, are we allowed to do covers?

if you want to sing or play along i would love that.  i really lake to make it up along the way, especially singing with other people.

 the song structure is simply
verse chorus verse chorus verse chorus
verse = C F Am G X 4
 chorus = F G C C X 2
F G C F
F G C C.

here's how i do it....

A Bit about Patti G

I had the history of her first two albums backwards in my mind!

And, I didn't  know that A&M released a stripped-down reworking of her demo tape, as an album called Living with Ghosts. instead of what she'd recorded with Dan Lanois in Nawlins. Griffin's second album, 1998's Flaming Red was a departure from the acoustic sound of Living with Ghosts, with a mix of mellow songs along with other, very high tempo rock and roll songs.

Swoon:
I think this is a really well written and well laid out bio
