A recent thread about getting a young person into playing real, roots music made me think of this. Not this exact version, but same style. Cut it down to size, and it's fine for a kid. The minor version is a little like "When the Wicked Shall Cease their Troubling," but any kid would like to play the major key better known version. In whatever key.
In fact, I don't think I've heard this particular version from Mac before: Saints in Bb, take a solo, and then kind of an extended tag ending.
Good for kids. Cut it down a bit, for size, and all that, but that can work. Do it live! </Bill O'Reilly>
New edit: cut that down a LOT for kids: I just tried it out at about the same tempo and keys, just the similar idea. That about killed my wrists. I'm still feeling it, and I was just fooling around for fun, during a snowstorm here.
So, note to future self, and perhaps others: a little bit more relaxed is good, even at the same tempo. And, mind you, I already could tell what chord voicings and basic style Mac was going to be doing, just from familiarity with that style, so it's doubly embarrassing for me. Like, I didn't have to read any music, or whateve, just play that kind of thing, and it still about killed me after about two minutes. Need lots of energy to radiate the eighty eights in the rock and roll style.
