I've enjoyed hearing you sing since the first time I saw you guys (4+ years ago), but until last night at the Iron Horse, had come to expect my vocal "wow moments" to come from Doris and Nate.

I don't know if it's an evolution in your style, something you've worked on, JJ freeing you up somehow, or something else, but it feels like you've found a whole new level of wonder and beauty.

That, and JJ joining the band have made better what already seemed perfect.

Thank you.

I really sadly can't make it to Cambridge tonight, so I have two table seats for tonight's late show at Club Passim that I'd love to give to someone. Just send me a message, and they're yours!

Hey there, hope all is well. Forgive me if this question is redundant (I only glanced back a few pages of this board to see if anyone has recently asked) but I was wondering if Girlyman ringtones will be available anytime in the near future? It would be so great to be able to randomly hear a bit of YJD or Carols at Christmas, amongst many others, whenever i recieve a call or text!!! Like having a lil piece of yall with me everywhere I go

Looking forward to Joes Pub!!
Amy

Can't approve of the new drummer yet unless GM resists the urge to use her on so many songs

Last night's show was excellent - I hope y'all were able to find extra tickets and make it in. The place was packed and they sounded great.

The highlight for me was St Stephen - I haven't heard it in years and it was great to hear it again. The addition of JJ the drummer really elevates the sound of the performance.

The original opener couldn't make it in due to weather, so Katie Todd opened. It was my first time hearing her and she was great!

It was great to see both shows in those settings, and gigi and I appreciate how gracious you were after both shows. gigi slept on the ride back to st. louis right after charleston, but the good feelings from the two shows in four days (and your music filling the car--with "tangled up in blue" slipping in there) kept me wide awake. as we said, we feel very lucky that we found you. travel safely, thanks for the set list, and we will watch for when you get close again. gigi and tom

Suzanne -

i'm sure i'm missing some 7s or sus's in here,
but this works for singing along.

also, i'm playing this in standard D, capo 2,
and just laying off the top strings
to imitate the sound on "everything's easy."

but a guide that was working for me
to attempt to play the correct chords in open D
(which does sounded even closer to the recording)
is here: http://pages.cthome.net/mwingram/Chords_OpenD.htm.

Could Have Guessed

Intro: D Em A D A7

Verse

There's so
D
much I've seen since you
Em
last saw me; Sea to
A
shining sea each
D
year

(repeat progression for next two lines)

And every
Bm
car runs clean, full of
G
gasoline; Still there's
D
one place I can't
A
go

Chorus
G
Maybe I could have
A
guessed, maybe I
Bm
should have
D
known
G
You'd be my one re-
A
gret that I could
Bm
not let
D G
go

Verse 2, Chorus

Bridge

So is it
D/F#
wrong? Is it
G
right? Am I
E/G#
still out of
A
line? Can you
F#/A#
hear me from
Bm Bm/A
here
E7
anyway? What could I
G A
say?

Verse 3, Chorus

(Nate probably plays the cool walking bass line
in the bridge, but most of it is manageable (for me)
in standard tuning except for the F#/A#).

corrections welcome!

jenny

Hint: This song is in open D tuning with the capo on the 2nd fret! Hope that helps.

Guys,

Has anyone worked out the chords to Could Have Guessed? I thought I had them, but now they don't sound right. If anyone has the chords and wants to post them, I would be very grateful! Suzanne

Hi Faith & Johnny,

Unless something changes at the last minute, we won't have We're About 9 with us in Fall River. But hopefully we'll all get to play together again soon!

JJ will, on the other hand, be with us, from now on! Glad you enjoy her as much as we do.

See you soon,
ty

Hello to you all, How are you? We hope that you are all happy and healthy! We are counting the days until the Fall River Show. Johnny would like to know if Were About Nine will be there? We are so happy that they have moved to our area. We have not seen them yet. We will. Thank you for bringing them into our Musical World! Will JJ be with you this time out? We really enjoy the dynamic she brings to Girlyman. Thank you. See you soon. Love Faith and Johnny
