I programmed BIAB so I could play these two songs and I think I have reversed the chorus
(bridge). One is "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" and the other is "Sunnyside Of The Street". In order not to have to go thru a bunch of albums I would appreciate someone telling me on either of the above songs does the bridge start with the (1) chord or the (4) chord. I remember one of them has the progression on the bridge, 1,4,2,5 and the other is 4, 1, 4, 5 or possibly (4125) Please tell me which goes to which song. I am sitting here playing both and probably putting the wrong bridge to both. Help please ASAP so I won't wonder about it all night. I am standing by!
Thanks,
Jerry[This message was edited by Jerry Roller on 03 October 2001 at 07:31 PM.] [This message was edited by Jerry Roller on 03 October 2001 at 07:48 PM.] |

Dear Jerry,
I don't normally comment about things very often, but I thought I would interject something to make it even more confusing! I play "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" at a lot of the jam sessions we do, and I know of at least three variations of the chord progression on the bridge. It does start on a 4 chord as Al mentioned but after that it can be different. I have played this with Hal Rugg, Doug Jernigan, Roy Rosetta and many others and most of the time we will briefly discuss which bridge we are going to play.
As far as "Sunnyside Of The Street", I haven't played it in a while, so I won't comment on it; however, I do have both tunes tabbed out.
I guess that's it for now.

Thanks Herby and once again to you Al. I had two "bridges" in my mind and just was not sure which one went with which song. I am set to go I think. Herby, I am also glad to know that there are more than one version because I felt that I had heard it played
4145 and also 4125, of course I am using just major chords for example and not trying to embelish them any in this discussion.
Thanks much,
Jerry |

Herby,
I realize there can be negative aspects to posting on the Forum, but I for one find your input and expertise helpful and enlightening -- keep it up. |

I'm 200% confident in Herby Wallace's expertise as a master musician here.
I'll just mention, tho, that the arrangement of "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" I'm hearing in my head right now, was done by Ray Price with a big band. That one, so far as I can trust my memory, started the bridge with the I chord (dom. 7th). A nice alternative arrangement.
My memory of "Sunnyside Of The Street" is even dimmer. (Haven't heard it in years.) Seems to me, however, that its bridge also starts on the I chord (dom. 7th) - and my ear tells me either a sus. note should be squeezed into that chord, or it could be alternated with a V minor 7th. But I don't have a guitar at hand to try out the notion.[This message was edited by Bill Fall on 04 October 2001 at 07:28 AM.] |

Thanks for all the help guys. Doug, thanks for the email also. I feel comfortable playing these two tunes without feeling that they may be wrong. Herby, I am looking forward to seeing you and hearing you again in Hot Springs in a couple of weeks. Who knows, I might play one of these songs for you and you can play "Four Wheel Drive" for me!
