Aw man! I just found out that "Hold on For Your Life" didn't make the cut for Fortune's Favour. That makes me weep more than a bit. I think out of all three of their new songs they played at the concert last year, that one was my favourite ("Walk on the Moon" is gorgeous, but "HoFYL" was just this rollicking fun song that totally captured the ( Read more... )

Well, um, no, actually, it was a year ago. Last April 18th, Cat came up to Savannah, and we drove to Charlotte for our first Great Big Sea concert. Okay, we haven't been to one since, but anyway.

By "figured out" I mean someone else posted the chords; I've just figured out how to shift from chord to chord (and I've finally managed to do a bar chord! Hurray!) and what the strumming pattern is. But still, for me, decent accomplishment. I ( Read more... )

So, ever since that fateful night where I decided to plug in the Great Big DVD and flip through the concert for the heck of it, not one day has gone by that I haven't either watched part of that, Hard and the Easy, or something else GBS-related on the internet. That's...goin' on two weeks now ( Read more... )
