Marie Laveau, Bobby Bare (Totally fun song to play and sing)

What a colorful song, with the descriptions and the storytelling! Thanks for sharing that, Loraine, you kept the beat – even with all the words you had to remember. I was interested to see how the story was going to develop, sat transfixed. It reminded me of how Johnny Cash used to tell stories (Boy named Sue) and made us laugh.

Thank you so much @ElloranJ ! I thoroughly enjoyed playing and singing this. So glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks so much @rpierce2266gmail-com . It is a fun song to perform and for others enjoyment. I sent it to my girlfriend and her granddaughter to make them smile and cheer them up over something they’re dealing with.

Really appreciate that @-Rick- ! I love goofy songs and tongue twisters .

Nice job @Loraine never heard that one but like the fun story songs getting all the lyrics right is a chore so kudos to you.

[Loraine]

Thanks Kevin! I think these are one of my favorite kinds of songs to play and sing – great campfire or open mic songs to get audience participation in parts.

@Loraine Nice! It looks like you aren’t having any issues with your strumming. Nice and smooth as always. I hope you’ve seen some improvements. It looks like you have.

[Loraine]

Thanks for the observations on my strumming and overall improvement. I’m having a blast right now playing songs, and just having fun helps me improve. A friend suggested I get a drum stick and simply move it just as I would if strumming the guitar. I haven’t been doing it long, but I’ve noticed my strumming is getting back on track. It’s a great way to loosen up my stiff wrist and hand, and to actually hold the pick more loosely. It teaches timing to, because the drum stick, if held half way on the stick has the same momentum back and forward.
