I've recruited an ally in my struggle to play Old Joe Clark at Jenni's birthday party.

@MrJrondeau I can tear through the song now, but I can't keep time well enough to play along with someone. I hate my new metronome, but that's the tool I think will teach me to play along. More as it happens...

You've already got the song. Just play it and stop thinkin' about it. All that thinkin's gettin' in the way of your playin'.. Have a few beers, or half a bottle of wine then it'll sound just fine.. hahaha

@rpeek I think I may have done better than the metronome. My sweetie is going to sing the song while I play. Report to follow.

@edda520 I didn't know you had a sweetie.. You're doin' better than I thought.. hahahaha..

Sounds good to us, Ed - Richard says ..... stop thinking about it - and I really think he's right - you know the notes, just play it and stop thinkin'!!!
