_was
a little ditty that is sort of a round robin tune.
We always call it Cannonball Rag.
Oh.
You remember that?
You guys remember that?
How'd it go?
_ Well, it _ starts off in G_
_and
I don't know what that other chord is.
We'll have to ask Tom about that.
_ _ I'll play it and we'll find out_
_and
I'll jump in once I figure out where you're at.
Okay.
