Chewie Get Us Out Of Here!!


Chewbacca is becoming an American citizen.

I wasn't so crazy about this comment:

"I am feeling very happy about it," Mayhew said. "Whatever people say about America, it is still one of the most wonderful countries in the world, despite the politics, religion and everything else that goes on."

Yeah, well, just remember that it is those crazy Christians who keep things like this from happening:

What, exactly, is "everything else"?

Chrispy said...

You know, he looks better as a wookie...

Dave Cavalier said...

You ain't kidding. Yeesh.

Have you learned the keyboard parts yet?

Chrispy said...

Pretty much, yes.

One question - on Beauty Mark, the section in 3 (the "post-chorus"?, where I'm doubling your guitar riff) - I've got the first bits...

Da - da - da
Da - da - da
Da -

But then on the...

da da da da!

...I'm not quite sure of the notes.

Got the bridge for "Carnie" (the "theramin" line), feel pretty good about the chorus (might need a little help on the end of the 3rd's part).

In short, I'm on my grind, workin' to make the Microdot keyboards as smooth as Mike's bottom.

Dave Cavalier said...

The chords for Carnie bridge are Ab - Fm - Dbm- Eb.

The notes in BM you are talking about are

E - G# - B
D# - G# - B
A - D# - C - B - A

Dave Cavalier said...

Also the last turnaround of that section is

E - G# - B
D# - G# - B
A - D# - C - B - A
G - F - E -F - A- G - F- E

Chrispy said...

yep, it's the D# - C - B - A that I wasn't getting, along with the last turnaround (all them notes!)

Dave Cavalier said...

Try singing it. I swear to God, I simply cannot sing that A - D# correctly.

Chrispy said...

That's a big jump, the A to D#. (the D# is an octave up, yes?)

I knew it went to the A (now that I think about how I was playing it) but couldn't get a handle on that jump either. The four notes seem to come out of nowhere, but they sound right when you hear them...

Get a room.....

It's the Crisco that gets my bottom so smooth.

Chrispy said...

this is the room!

Ahhhhh, Crsico....

Dave Cavalier said...

That's your answer for everything, Mike. "Put a little Crisco on it."
