it also has the video reference clip where GL speaks of capo dependency regrets

i imagine Rick would not find it stimulating to reshape his bass lines, probably no real biggie for Mike and Terry...and GL would have to stretch those fingering positions a bit more if capo off, especially for the ones that had it in 3rd position...again, an old stale discussion that's been had here...but thanks for freshening it up...i like to jam no and then on piano so hooking up with the capo crowd really becomes a brain drain...i have to put the beer aside and increase to caffeine intake to keep ahead of the game (and chord changes)

cheers...long live the capo, lol


To improve the show and Lightfoot's voice, I am sure Mr. Haynes could easily adjust. I agree about the beer / caffeine fix and yes, long live the capo but use it when it only should be used.
