Jimmy's Idiom Song

Last June, I posted this song under 'Clever Songs".   I've been working on this for a while, trying to find a more appropriate key.  Today was a nice warm sunny day, one of the first I think on a week-end this summer.  I decided to sit out under the gazebo with my guitar and song book.  I started playing around with Jimmy's Idiom Song in the Key of A.   I liked it, so I got out the zoom H2 and recorded it to hear how it sounded.  This is played on my Blueridge guitar.   Have a listen.

The Idiom Song

I've been working on a new song that I call "The Idiom Song".  This was an idea that came to me on the road home from work.  Bubba was on CKUA and somehow the subject of idioms came up and it got my interest.   I knew that this was a song that was going to take a bit of work to pull off.  If fact it might take me several weeks to pull it off.   By the way, "pull it off" is an idiom.  

As a teaser, here's a verse, still in draft. 

Every dog has its day
Have your day in the sun
A bird in hand's worth two in the bush
And baby you're the one

Stay tuned.(another idiom)
