"right or wrong" by george strait and others (E7-A7-D7-G-Bbdim-D7-E7-A7-D7-B7-E7-A7-G-D7-G)

Boy, I must have skimmed over this before. I not only have to learn more chords (than the 3 that I already know) and more songs (than the 5 that I already know) but now I am actually expected to learn Hawaiian too?! Sheez, I haven't learned this much since...since...since I can't remember when.
Well I am sure that it will be worth it to watch your wife do the Hula! But Randy, seriously now, we only want to see your wife do the hula. Remember your back, your old, can't play a deep bowl, tired, needing medical assistance back?
Need I say more?! Remember the "video threat" if you have any ideas otherwise. |

No.
You came down and STAYED.
That makes you a "Damn Yankee" . . .

Location: Simpsonville, SC | I can bring my vintage 1968 Kazoo. Yep, the one that I played in third grade music class. I sent it back to the tin factory (no cheap plastic back then) and they refinished it with lead paint and a new piece of wax paper over the sound hole. Plays like new, but with a loose more broken in sound. Talk about a treat!. I have not yet mastered playing it with my guitar though because I can't find a neck Kazoo holder anywhere.
Any ideas? |

(hmmm, just checked the location. Maybe not...)
Okay.
Stick your head through a coathanger. Stretch, pull, and bend it 'till it sits nice and firm on your shoulders.
Get the hook part in front, bend it up in front of your face. (Be careful not to poke your eyes out, Mom will have a fit.) Straighten and bend it up in front of your face. With pliers, bend the end of the now straightened hook around your kazoo. Duct-tape it in place. (It's not a real handyman project without duct tape, eh?)
Now, go outside and blow! |

Location: big island | jim,
please don't bother to show up at the good ol' boys southern-style jam with either a kazoo superglued to your lips or wearing a coat hanger and duct tape. we don't wanna get thrown outta the park before we get tuned up. besides, asheville is a respectable place.
i have a harmonica holder which will easily accomodate your kazoo. |
