Hi everyone,
The song of the week is 'Beautiful Brown Eyes' in the key of G.
Beautiful Brown Eyes is one of those songs that may be played at a bluegrass jam in either 3/4 (waltz) time (1-2-3: boom-chuck-chuck rhythm on guitar) or in 2/2 (cut common) time (1&2&: boom-chuck-boom-chuck rhythm on guitar). When Janene leads the song at next week's jam, it'll be in 3/4 time.
