Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is an incredibly fun song to play and sing. It's in 6/8 the whole time except for one transitionary
measure, which, in the show, is dialogue. I've annotated where it feels duple in the music below, but, as a
rule, just feel that 1+a 2+a vibe and you should be more than fine. Also, most of this song is FF so feel
free to really dig in, especially at that key shift.
