This Little Light Of Mine, By Lincoln & Taivan using the Rock-iT Barre Guitar, Ukulele, Banjo and Other Stringed Instrument Device (My Invention:)

This Little Light Of Mine, By Lincoln and Taivan using the Rock-iT Barre on the baritone ukulele and my guitar (my new invention to play guitar easily).  They just learned how to play earlier that day, and came back to playing again.  This time, they wanted to try playing with the instrument on their lap.  I put the stickers for the chords under the 1st few strings on the fret board, facing them, so they could see the chord letters easily.  

I also opened tuned to a D chord, which I consider a "Simplified Method" of playing the Basic Rock-iT Barre.   They are so fun to hang out with!  Thanks boys :)

ABC Song by Gregon and Lincoln in the car, VERY FUNNY TO WATCH :)

Gregon and Lincoln on the Alphabet Song.  Gregon gets angry, Lincoln feels bad, then forgets he is supposed to be angry and smiles, then remembers and tries to pout.  VERY CUTE.

ABC Song with Gregon and Lincoln, Feb, 2015

"It's Time", at the Elementary School's Talent Show

This was so fun to watch!  Trevor and his friend sounded great on "Rhythm", Mason was solid on his guitar, holding it all together, and Carter sang with such confidence.  I loved it.

"It's Time", for the Talent Show

Glory Land (I've Got a Home In Glory Land)

Singing for Grandma Wilma at the assisted living home.  Mason is helping out on the guitar.  He has never played it before, therefore the "actions" by me to help him know when to "break" on the guitar.

This is a song I learned as a child, again singing in our volkswagen bug driving up the mountain to go home.  This is absolutely one of my favorites!  Very fun memories associated with it, and now, the memory of singing for Grandma Wilma.

I've Got A Home In Glory Land


Glory Land Words and Chords (Key of G)

1st verse

G
I've got a home in glory land that outshines the sun

C                                                                    G
I've got a home in glory land that outshines the sun


I've got a home in glory land that outshines the sun

         D               G
Way, beyond the blue



Chorus

G
Do Lord, oh Do Lord, oh Do remember me

C                                                       G
Do Lord, oh Do Lord, oh Do remember me


Do Lord, oh Do Lord, oh Do remember me

             D           G
Way, beyond the blue


2nd verse

G      
I took Jesus as my Savior, You take him too

C                                                        G
I took Jesus as my Savior, You take him too


I took Jesus as my Savior, You take him too

             D           G
Way, beyond the blue


Repeat chorus

I'm Going To Leave Ol' Texas Now

I learned this song in 2nd grade.  My teacher played the guitar, and taught us a lot of fun songs.  She was one of the main reasons I ever started playing guitar, and all the songs she taught us were great.

This was a first time through for this group-my nephews, friends and brother.  I was down visiting, and this was really a treat to get to play and sing with them!

This song is in the key of D, and A is the only other cord in this song.  One person sings the first line and holds it out, and the group repeats after them.  It is easy to do around a camp fire, or a group where no one knows each other songs.

I'm Going To Leave Ol' Texas Now


Chords and Lyrics for I'm Going To Leave Ol' Texas Now

D
I'm going to leave….. (echo), Ol' Texas now…….
                         A                                        D
They've got no use……., for the longhorn cow……

They've plowed and fenced…….   My cattle range…….
                          A                                   D
And the people there……..    Are all so strange……

I'll say adios……  to the Alamo…………
                      A                               D
And turn my head………   toward Mexico………

I'll take my horse…….   I'll take my rope…….
                   A                             D
And hit the trail……..   Upon a lope………..

Spider's Web, Quick Record for Learning

"Spider's Web" is a favorite of all girl's camp goers.  This was recorded quick, the two separate parts, so that my friend Sue could review for girls camp coming up this week.

I will post with the parts combined when I get a few of my daughters together.

Sweet Violets at Assisted Living Home for Great Grandma Wilma

This is a song that as a child, I could never quite figure out why it didn't seem to flow as well as other songs - something seemed wrong with it.  About the time I became a teenager, I realized it was the lack of rhyme that was bothering me.  I also appreciated what the song was really portraying, and then I really liked the song.  It wasn't until I was even older that I realized what the last verse was telling me about, "All a girl wants from a man is his "dough".  Now I just smile as we sing it, and enjoy it.

We are missing Rachelle :(.  It never sounds as good without one of the daughters!
Mason helped out on the guitar.  He had never played this song before.  I'll post the lyrics and cords.

3 Year Old Child's Version of Row Your Boat by 3 of my Grandsons

Grandpa and I were with Cooper, Taivan and Lincoln on Grandpa's trailer at the garden, eating lunch.  They grabbed hold and started turning and singing Row, Row, Row, Your Boat.  This is after they had sung it a few times, and I had time to grab my phone and record it, so they weren't quite as enthusiastic, but very fun.  Watch far enough into it for the fun part.
