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 :)

Seventeen Around The Campfire

"Fight Song", Around the Campfire

Our children and grandchildren were all at the cabin this summer.  One evening, Mason was playing the guitar, and the kids joined in on "The Fight Song".  Very fun!  (Sorry for the horribly jumpy video)

Dream Awhile

This song was recorded while we sang to a woman in her home who was terminally ill.  This is also a camp song that I learned at camp.  I also remember my parents teaching/singing it with us in the car.  My daughter's also sang it at their dad's funeral. This is absolutely one of my very favorite songs. 

Dream Awhile, Key of D, me w/daughters, 2014

Dream Awhile, Key of D
Lyrics and chords

D                         A                    
Dream Awhile, of friendships ever true

A7                           D
Dream of them, and they will be with you

G                      D             Bm
Memories of the loved we shared

      E            E7        A           A7           
The presence of our Lord was there….

D                             A
Now's the time, that you and I must part

A7                            D
Take this dream, and lock it in your heart

          G                         D         Bm
These precious moments we'll relive

E             A      A7 D
When we meet again

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

Way, beyond the blue



Chorus

Way, beyond the blue


2nd verse

Rose, Rose, a camp song sung in a round

We are singing for Grandma Wilma at the assisted living home.  I'm missing a daughter, but it still sounds ok :)

Rose, Rose (a Round)


Rose, Rose Words and Chords

Dm     Am      Dm     Am
Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose,

Dm    Am   Dm         Am
Will I ever see thee wed?

Dm    Am     Dm      Am
I will marry when I will

        Dm     Am  Dm      Am
sire when  I     will

And then start all over again.  The round starts with the 2nd line.

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.
