Put Away Your Handkerchiefs
Interesting conversation last night at the Songwriters Circle about techniques. Since I was preparing to go onstage, I missed most of it. But the folks talked about spending a few minutes on the first Tuesday sharing techniques, blues turns, bluegrass fills, reggae beats, what-have-you. Have always liked my diminished chord blues turn around, but would love to learn alternatives.

Oh, yeah. The headline is a play on the legendary habit of songsters holding a handkerchief to hide their chording hand.

"Now is no time for your tears."

Bob Dylan said that.

"Hope to hear from you soon."

I said that.
