Workin' on a lesson out of "A Book of Five Strings." (Page 33) The focus was on transposing music to fit any key. I tried quite a few, A-minor was cool, but ended up recording in the key of G (the easy one). Song's called Hesitation Blues, my first attempt to sing some blues. Warning, it's really rough, timing's off and I'm practicing singing/playing at same time. I'm not even sure if I have the melody right.

Here're the lyrics:

If the river was whiskey and I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom and I'd never come up.

Chorus:
Oh tell me how long do I have to wait
Oh can I get you now, or must I hesitate?

If the river was whiskey and the branch was wine
you'd see me in bathing just any ole time

I was born in England, raised in France
I bought a suit of clothes and they wouldn't send the pants

I was born in Alabama, raised in Tennessee
If you don't like my peaches don't shake my tree

I looked down the road as far as I can see
A man had my woman and the blues had me

Got the hesitation stockings got the hesitation shoes
Oh my Lord I got the hesitation blues
