Imagine my surprise when I found out that another boy dressed like a skeleton and danced around at his friends' band's performance. I thought I was the only one. I just have a mask though, no bone suit or anything. And I dance the whole time, not during when they play. Only my friends' band is called Vincent Price's Orphan Powered Death Machine. And they are quite good. (http://www.xvpopdmx.cjb.net) At least, I think they're fun. The real reason I posted was for a bit of a holiday present for all of you that play your guitars in the E flat tuning like myself. A transcription of B&S's cover of O Come O Come Emmanuel, for your strumming pleasure. It's in E flat, so if you play standard, just move it back a fret. You'll get the hang of it. The timing is unusual, too. Verse: D#min O Come O Come Emmanuel Gmin Dmin And ransom captive Israel Gmin C That mourns in lovely exile here A# F Until the Son of God appear. Refrain: F Rejoice, rejoice- Gmin Dmin Gmin Dmin Emmanuel shall come to thee O Israel. O come o come great Lord of Might, Who to thy tribes on Sinai's height. In ancient clouds once gave the law in cloud and majesty and awe. Refrain. O come thou day spring(?) come and cheer Our spirits by thine advent here; Disperse the gloomy clouds of night And death's dark shadows put to flight. Refrain. O come thou key of David come (Pause with chords) And open wide our (resume) heavenly home Make safe the way that leads on high, and close the path to misery. Refrain. Dmin O come Emmanuel, A# F and ransom captive Israel, Gmin C that mourns in lonely exile here A# F until the Son of God appear. Refrain. p.s. I am looking to spend the holidays in Japan with a friend. Can anyone recommend any hostels or regions to visit? I've been once before, but it would be cool to get an insider's recommendation. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
