C-Note Blues, Oscar Peterson

[Stride Listening Lesson, ending with Oscar doing CNote Blues you heard here] By rick... You have to listen to do. It's no good taking "piano lessons" without listening. You'll spin your wheels for years a bit like I did. You have to start by knowing some chords, and singing a bit and by listening. It's okay to listen to material beyond your level... as Peterson above. It's inspirational and if you can do 1/1000 of his skill level, you're still good to go. Click on the discussion above and take each video in, as I've posted several lesson videos by various teachers on "stride". If you listen all the way through, clicking on each link, that'll be your listening lesson for today. If you're inspired to then play something, great. If not, sleep on it. What you put in will eventually come out one way or another.

Burton Cummings: Clap for the Wolfman

[Discuss]

Clap for the Wolfman - he gonna rate your record high
Clap for the Wolfman - you gonna dig him till the day you die
Clap for the Wolfman - he gonna rate your record high
(Mmm... Yes, gracious!)
Clap for the Wolfman - you gonna dig him till the day you die

Doo-Ron-Ron and the Duke of Earl - they were friends of mine
I was on my moonlight drive
Snuggled in - say, baby, just one kiss - she said no, no, no
Romance ain't keeping me alive
Said, hey, baby, d'you wanna coo-coo-coo? - she said uh, uh, uh
So, I was left out in the cold
I said, you're what I've been dreaming of - she said I don't want to know

(Oh, you know - she was diggin' the cat on the radio)

Clap for the Wolfman - he gonna rate your record high
(Yes, baby, I'm your doctor of love)
Clap for the Wolfman - you gonna dig him till the day you die
(Everybody talks about the Wolfman's Pompitous of Love)
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/the_guess_who/clap_for_the_wolfman.html ]
Seventy-five or eighty miles an hour she hollered, slow, slow, slow
Baby, I can stop right on a dime
I said, hey, baby, give me just one kiss - she said no, no, no
But, how was I to bide my time?
Said, hey, baby, d'you wanna coo-coo-coo? - she said uh, uh, uh
I said, I'm about to overload
I said, you're what I've been living for - she said I don't want to know
(You thought she was diggin' you, but she was diggin me!)

Clap for the Wolfman - he gonna rate your record high
(As long as you got the curves, baby, I got the angles)
Clap for the Wolfman - you gonna dig him till the day you die
(It's all according to how your boogaloo situation stands, you understand)
Clap for the Wolfman - he gonna rate your record high
(You ain't gonna get 'em, cause I got 'em)
Clap for the Wolfman - you gonna dig him till the day you die
(You might want to try, but I'm gonna keep em!)
(Ain't that right, girls?)
Clap for the Wolfman
Clap for the Wolfman...
(And I got 'em all)
(Yes, you go right on ahead and try)
