Topic: Catch Your Breath

Work has been a little busy lately but I finally had a break and I’m now enjoying my Monday and Tuesday weekend. So I got to thinking that this break was really a catch my breath weekend and I need to be ready for my first day back at work tomorrow. That’s where I got this song idea from. Hope you like it. Not sure why the B chord is showing up in lower case but I send a question off to James to see if he can work it on out

Re: Catch Your Breath

Jeff, not being a programmer I am clueless as why certain characters are morphing into strange forms.  Where is that Paranormal when you need him?

I suspect it is due to recent programming changes being made by the Mighty Admin (Fearsome Scourge of the Icy Fjords, Wise Shaman of the Artic Way).  These are probably unintended consequences of subtle alterations in the space/time continuum.

I have passed on the concerns to the Department of Homeland Security.  They shall investigate throroughly.  Sorry for the mess.

Great song - seems to me that the only people who never make mistakes are those who never try anything new.  James

Re: Catch Your Breath

Hi jeff
Nice one.
liked the Chord progression something a little different.
Had a look at the myspace website you recommended for Bluegrass.
Thought it would be Banjos, Fiddles and such was pleasantly suprised more like country.
Wife liked her alot.

Regards

Ark

Re: Catch Your Breath

Thanks Ark - I try and keep my music from always sounding the same but sometimes it will. Glad you like this one.

I grew up in Bluegrass country and Rhonda Vincent sounds like what I remember the girls sounding like and Dan Tyminski sounds like the guys I remember. Dan did the singing vocals for George Clooney in Oh Brother Where Art Thou. You might like him to so here's his myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/dantyminski
