This past year many lost their lives to a pandemic. Others passed away without catching a virus. Recently I have been to 3 funerals. In honor of all these people I have chosen a song that is sometimes sung at funerals in America. Going Home, also known as Goin' Home.

Searching youtube will turn up many sung and instrumental versions. Here is one.

The second song this month is The Cairo Waltz. I first heard this about 25 or 30 years ago on a Norman Blake album. I live in Illinois and there is a town called Cairo Illinois. It is pronounced KAY row, not the same as the city in Egypt. It works well on the harmonica if you don't try to play all the ornaments that the fiddle players use.

Yes, Keith, those are my tabs.

I forgot about those since I don't play from tabs. Years ago a friend asked me for some tabs for the Melody Maker. Later I put them on Harptabs also. MM tabs generally do not play on a standard diatonic. If you would like an explanation I suggest we start another topic.

As for my comment about the 'difference', that was so people wouldn't just try playing them 'straight' on a regular diatonic. (They were the only tab I could find, though.)

In 2001 I became a member of the Rosary Confraternity, which has been overseen for centuries by the Dominicans. Around the same time we got the internet at home and I joined the Slidemeister forum. At that time it seemed most people made up online names so I did the same. My rosary was on the desk and I became Beads online.
I'm still in the confraternity and still over at Slidemeister.

Like ,Rex, when I first went onto youtube I thought every one used a made up name. Instead, I used my birth date db1841927. Now I’d like to change that to Dezzy. But all previous videos that have got subscribers would be lost. Argh! Why worry, they are only there to transfer to forums. Perils of beginners.

Great job on that Sebastian. A little slower than I play it but you put in more ornamentation, or what Norman Blake calls "flummydiddles", than I have done in the past. I'll have to up my game. You sure learned it quickly.

Dezzy, I changed my YouTube name to Tremolo Harmonica and didn't loose subscribers or likes or comments. However it also changed my Gmail account name. That was 6 years ago. I can't guarantee that it still works that way.
