   And then slide down the neck and start playing the verses.
   I _think_ that you can pretty much just get away with chords
   here. Anyway, that's all I know how to do at this point.
   If anyone figures out any little lead parts to spruce this
   up, let me know.

That's all I know of this one. I hope it's more or less
accurate. Sorry about the lack of the solo. I may get
around to it, I don't know.

BTW, I have also started Mr. Bluesman from this album.
I know the basic chords, etc. Basically enough to go on
_except_ I don't know the solo. E-mail me if you'd like
to see what I've got so far.

Correction, etc. (especially the addition of the solo) are
strongly encouraged.

Enjoy
