Operation 365... Blog 163

Operation 365 - Jefferson Jay - Covers – 169 “La Cucaracha” – Traditional

So trying to remain on the quick tip here,… My banjo was right beside me so I picked it up. I went to this web page, http://www.jbott.com/begin.html A man named Jim Bottorff puts easy banjo tunes there and that is how I wound up playing “La Cucaracha”. I had no idea it even had a verse, or if the melody I sang for it is the right one. Viva Mexico.

Operation 365 - Jefferson Jay - Originals – 169 “My Sitar Theme”

I am literally sick and tired. Feeling alright in the head, but sick and tired, so I am trying to do things on the quick tip here tonight. Maybe set a record for time spent 365ing for a day. Here is the song I play first every time I take out my sitar. I made it up. When I took it out to play, the sitar was a bit out of tune. I didn’t let a lot of the string ring out that I normally would ‘cause I didn’t want to take the time to tune it, but more or less, that is how the song goes. Namaste.

Operation 365 - Jefferson Jay - Archives – 169 Jefferson plays Justin Mills; “All My Life” 1-19-2010

Here I am covering the number one song of the “Portugalia Era,” hands down. I started playing this song because I loved it and because Justin Mills is prone to huge hiatuses in playing out. If you want to hear a song, sometimes, you have to resort to drastic measures. I heard the Port is officially done. Peace out Port. Thanks for a million great times and helping me meet most of my best friends. Maybe we’ll meet again someday. In another time. Under another name. Maybe. Meanwhile, rumors of a Greens of Mind reunion continue to circulate.

NOTE: Blogger.com was down yesterday, so this didn't get to go up until today.
