The parrot's name is Henry. Quite a little character. As much as we loved him, his screaming all day long (normal behavior for a Sun Conure) led us to give him away to a lady who kept lots of birds (she used to take care of him when I was on trips). He is still doing well, screaming and biting little holes in the clothes of those he loves, I'm sure. I do miss him, though ;(
pretty sick man, i think you should post your chord preogression of this song somewhere, i've been trying to play it for weeks and it never sounds right, awesome job
Nope, Henry's pretty gentle with his claws. But his loud SCREAMING and his habit of biting holes in everyone's clothes is something else. Still, he's awfully cute, don't you think?
Well yes, I did. Not often that Stephen doesn't give his guest a hard time. I guess he really likes Newman. But I was performing this song in the late 70's. Just revived it when a former student asked for a chart and I was too lazy to write it out :)
Very nice job, exactly how it should be played on guitar. Thanks for the "lesson"

What chords are those during the "africa's far too hot" part? My girlfriend and I can't for the life of us figure it out.
