Hi everyone,
Janene has a cough and sore throat, and won't be leading the beginner jam tonight. So, the jam is cancelled. The next beginner jam will be held next Tuesday, (the 19th), and the song of the week remains 'Swing Low, Sweet Chariot' in the key of C. All the best, Jason

Hi everyone, The song of the week is 'A Memory Of You' in the key of D. Recordings Jim & Jesse - key of A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebC9IQNkj7E Bobby Hicks and Friends - key of B https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLppdfvyW1c Jason Homey & The Snake River Boys - key of A A memory of you - Jason Homey and the Snake River Boys - YouTube Jam Videos Janene Thomas - key of D A Memory of You [D] - YouTube Jason Homey - keys of A & B Jason’s YouTube Links – Alphabetical Listing – Parisology (cyberplasm.com) Progression 1144 1155 1144 1511 (Prog. V7 on the Basic Chord Progressions handout) In the key of G: 1=G, 4=C, 5=D In the key of A: 1=A, 4=D, 5=E In the key of B: 1=B, 4=E, 5=F# In the key of C: 1=C, 4=F, 5=G In the key of D: 1=D, 4=G, 5=A Melody Singers should observe that the melody for the chorus differs from the melody of the verses in measures 2 through 5. In these 4 measures, where the verse melody descends, the chorus melody ascends, and vice versa. In the attachments, I have given the melody for the chorus rather than for the verses, because it feels to me more intuitive to use the chorus melody of 'A Memory Of You' as the point of reference for creating melody-based breaks, even though with most songs, one would typically use the melody for the verses rather than the melody for the chorus as the point of reference for creating melody based breaks when the chorus and verse melodies differ from each other. Song List 11 songs were played at last night's jam: 10 from the main list, and 1 from the additional songs list: All The Good Times Are Past And Gone - D Bury Me Beneath The Willow - C Cryin' Holy - B Foggy Mountain Top - C I'll Fly Away - C A Memory Of You - D She'll Be Coming 'Round The Mountain - D Soldier's Joy - D When The Saints Go Marching In - B Will The Circle Be Unbroken (played twice) - C Sitting On Top Of The World - G Happy Pickin', Jason
