1. If you\u2019d like to play along, reply to this post and I\u2019ll assign you a letter.
\n2. You then list (and upload or link to the video, if you feel like it) 5 songs that start with that letter.
\n3. Then, as I\u2019m doing here, you\u2019ll post the list to your journal with the instructions.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So here are five tunes in the key of H. I’ll skip the obvious ones \u2014\u00a0you all know “Highway Star” and “Hardware Store,” right? And “Harold the Barrel” and “Happy Jack”? These you might not have heard before.<\/p>\n

Ghost Hound<\/b><\/i> was a major disappointment. I expected so much more from the Lain<\/b><\/i> veterans. But the opening<\/a> did introduce me to singer Mayumi Kojima. ((Some of her recent recordings can be found at amazon.com, but they don’t show her at her best.))
\nMayumi Kojima, “Himawari”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Webb Wilder Credo: “Work hard, rock hard, eat hard, sleep hard, grow big, wear glasses if you need ’em.”

Here are John Jorgenson, Will Ray and Jerry Donohue, and lots of guitar.
\nThe Hellecasters, “Highlander Boogie”<\/strong><\/p>\n

To clear your ears, here is some finger-picking from a Winfield<\/a> veteran.
\nPete Huttlinger, “Hortensia”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s finish up with a classic anatidian tune.
\nRaymond Scott, “Huckleberry Duck”<\/strong><\/p>\n
