Librarian's Blues

This is a blues song about . . . well, listen to the lyrics. As a lark I wrote this song about overdue library books. Maybe only librarians can relate. Written, performed, sung, and played by Keith Johnson. But don't blame me. The "B-B-B-Bad to the Bone" reference is from a George Thorogood song of the same name. I do play a little non-librarian, non-blues music on the side. We call ourselves "Celtic Cat & Prairie Dog" and you can find out more about this at: http://www.celticcatprairiedog...

Thanks Earth person traveler. I appreciate the comment and your very forgiving approach to the song. It was the very first video I ever put up on YouTube, so I wasn't sure if non librarians would get this. I assume you're a non librarian since you're an earthtraveler. Librarians are always stuck in the library, so we're not much for earth traveling...just YouTube posting, I guess.

Hi Haliowns: thanks for the comment. I'll try work up something in the way of harmonica 'tabs' for this, although it's fairly standard John Lee Hooker type of repetitive riff, and there's a lot of faking and pretending that I actually know what I'm doing. So if I give you the tabs, you'll have to fill in a lot of the blanks with your own pretend riffs. Give me some time and I'll try send you those tabs, at least for the basic harmonica riff.

Yup, I know exactly the book you're talking about. There have been a few requests for that book, but less and less requests as the years pass. What . . . are you about half-way through the book? I'm guessing you're a slow reader (nothing wrong with that). Return it when you're done reading it, okay? (in another 45 years or so). Then we'll take your fine off of it, and you can go back to living a guilt-free life once again, at long last.

Hola Chinelitomexico2: gracias por el comentario. Su inglés está muy bien; it' s tan bueno como mi español (que I estudiado una vez). ¿Usted toca la guitarra? ¿Usted sabe los acordes de E y de D? Es usted disturbó cuando los estudiantes don' ¿libros atrasados de vuelta de la biblioteca de t? ¿Es usted bibliotecario? ¿Usted apenas tiene gusto de los azules? Entonces usted puede aprender esta canción. Gracias por tardar la época de comentar. Si usted necesita ayuda con esta canción, déjeme saben.

The harmonica is in the key of A . . . the guitar key is in E (chords alternate between E and A, the I & IV chords).
