Under Construction
So I’m starting in earnest in pulling together a “Viper Half-Century” songbook. I’ll be posting here my progress as I incorporate files for each of the song pages linked to below. Each will have at least a PDF version of the lead & chord sheet for each song, plus the Midi mp3 created from the software I used to create the music to help you follow along. Most pages will also have audio & video of Viper performances. Eventually, the songbook will also include ukulele chord diagrams, artwork, and introductory context.
Look for other intro type material in the Another Birthday song intro, the intro to El Cortador in both the Viper and Ryan Jerving posts.
Here’s the second song for the “Viper Half-Century” songbook I’m pulling together. Just in case you missed my post from a couple days ago (and the plan is to put one song out every two days), this will be a compilation of 50 Viper songs I wrote before I turned 50. Wait’ll you hear the sequel in 2068!As I noted before, the final songbook will include ukulele chord charts and links to helpful instructional videos and minus-one performance for you to play along with. But I’m pushing myself to just get all the music transcribed first. And if you know your chords, you can play it on any accompaniment instrument at all (happy to help with any that you might not know).So here’s “Another Birthday Song,” with a link below to a PDF version of images you see here.
