[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]When I saw Sari over the summer, I was frustrated that I couldn’t play “Don’t Be Shy” for her. I knew the song consisted of about three chords, but I couldn’t figure it out spontaneously.
Turns out it’s a difficult song to play and sing at the same time. The rhythm is surprisingly tricky to maintain. A-E-D-E if you want to try it.
I put this together Friday night for Sari’s birthday. My recording equipment has been in storage for more than a year, so I used a digital voice recorder to capture and transport the tracks one at a time, and used an old version of Cool Edit Pro to layer the voices and add some effects. It’s a patch job.
Cat Stevens wrote the song for Harold and Maude, which remains one of my favorite movies. Sometimes I feel like Harold. Sometimes I feel like Maude.
