One of my students requested to learn this song. I hadn't heard it before tonight but I love it. It's funny just how much this sounds like his father. But I think it's a beautiful, simple song, with lovely lyrics.
I didn't find any correct chords on-line so I thought I would post on my blog the chords that I'm hearing in this.
(This is all relative to Capo VI:) It sounds like he is having some fun with the C chord. He is adding the 9 (a D) to the chord, and he is not playing the high E string, so the chord ends up something like this: x3203x. He also turns it into a Cmaj7 chord in the intro just by removing the D note on the B string to reveal the major 7th: x3200x.

Burlesque Stage Sweeper Experience

I have been working in burlesque for nearly four years now. I have played almost every role: musician, producer, burlesque performer... but I realized recently there was one job I still was yet to do: Stage Sweeper.
One cardinal rule of burlesque is this: Never pick up your own clothes. It's just not cool to come back on stage and pick up your own clothes after you spent so much sexy energy and choreography to tear them off so beautifully.
Sometimes known as “stage kitty,” it's the sweeper's job to pick up the stripped-off clothes of the burlesque artists after they exit the stage.
I volunteered to be the sweeper for the “Bra Talent Burlesque Show” at the Sin Bin last weekend for a few reasons: first because I produce shows and hire sweepers and since I hire them I want to know exactly what it is they do. But also, I love burlesque so much I want to experience every aspect of this art form that I can. Besides that, it was a lot of fun!
Twelve Lessons Learned
- Being a stage kitty is a lot like being a stage manager. It's not just your job to pick up afterwards, it's also your job to set the stage before each number. In the Bra Talent show, there were several numbers that required chairs. But not just any chair would suffice! Each performer required a very specific type of chair based on height, colour and style. I realized pretty quick I needed to take notes. There was no way I would be able to remember who wanted the white chair and who wanted the wooden chair without writing it down.
- Some burlesque numbers are quite simple. There's an advantage to this. With fewer props, there are fewer things that can go wrong.
- I am dyslexic and even though I have been performing on stage for more than a dozen years, the terms “stage right” and “stage left” still confuse my brain. To be certain I set the stage correctly, I checked with each performer just before they went on as they stood in the stage wing. I asked them to peek on stage and check the set up to make sure I got it right. It was worth it for the peace of mind. I would never want to be responsible for screwing up someone's number.
