1442.0. "Help" by CRISTA::MAYNARD (Joshua Gone Barbados) Fri Aug 25 1989 16:04

    Does anybody know the chord progression at the beginning of
    "Bye Bye Baby " by Big Brother And The Holding Co( First Album)
    	It sounds like an ascending diminished chord,but I can't
    seem to figure it out.

1442.1Bye Bye or Cry Baby?VOLKS::RYENRick Ryen 240-6501 AET1-1/A6Wed Aug 30 1989 14:226
Are you sure that the name of the song was not Cry Baby?

If it was, I think I have the music at home someplace.

1442.2No CigarCRISTA::MAYNARDJoshua Gone BarbadosWed Aug 30 1989 16:5011
    Nope
       "Cry Baby" is on Pearl,( with the Full Tilt Boogie Band).
    The lyrics run like this:
    Bye
    Bye- Baby, Bye bye
    I may be seeing you around
    When I change my living standard
    And I move up town...
    
    Thanks anyway

1442.3Trying again....Since it's out of circulationPOBOX::KALLEVIGBOnward through the Fog...Wed Aug 30 1989 23:061
    Anyone offer some help with Bad Fingers "Baby Blue"?
1442.4I GOT WHAT YA WANT...RAVEN1::DANDREAMoose and Squirrel must die...Thu Aug 31 1989 11:4210
    Yes!!!  I happend to have figured out the chords and leads to that
    tune, front to back, for my student who LOVES the song.  He has
    it in writing, and I'll be glad to touch it up and mail it to ya.
    I could also type it into this conference, but right now I can't
    remember anything except it's in key of "B".  I had never heard
    the tune before the night I learned it, now I really like it.
    would you prefer i write the chord changes "over" the lyrics?
    Give me a call at 354-3359, or raven1::dandrea

Hey Steve, 

I don't think that will be allowed, because of copyright violations. But could 
you add me to that distribution - I have been dying for my band to cover that 
song, but since I don't have the record, I can only go by memory. The music 
would help immensely!

1442.6copyright violation? really?RAVEN1::DANDREAMoose and Squirrel must die...Thu Aug 31 1989 14:4511
    RE: .5
    
    Ask and ye shall be given.....Baby Blue comin at ya next week.
    
    Alan,
    were you serious about the copyright thing?  I was gonna type the
    words and chords into a reply....
    
    I'll send ya a cassette as well if needed.

1442.7Copyright violation, you betcha.CSC32::G_HOUSEI'm trappedThu Aug 31 1989 15:079
    Yeah, Steve, Alan's serious.  It's a copyright violation to publish
    more then a fragment of the lyrics to a song.  Posting them in one of
    our notesfiles constitutes publishing them.  It's a violation of our
    corporate policy since Digital could be liable for you using their
    equipment to publish copyrighted material.
    
    Better to keep it out of notes.

1442.8Glad I asked...RAVEN1::DANDREAMoose and Squirrel must die...Thu Aug 31 1989 16:328
    Alan, Greg,
    
    Ok to "publish" words/music in VAXMAIL with limited distribution?
    Let me know ASAP, I'm gonna try and get started tomorrow....
    
    Thanks,
    
    Steve
1442.9Dave?CSC32::G_HOUSEI'm trappedFri Sep 01 1989 13:326
    I *think* that's ok.  Seems to be done pretty often...
    
    I think that Dave Blickstein would probably know.  I seem to remember
    that he did some research on this awhile back.

1442.10I *don't* think it's legal.IDONT::MIDDLETONFri Sep 01 1989 14:365
    
    Strictly speaking, it's probably illegal.  After all, a copy is a copy.
    And this certainly doesn't meet the criteria for fair use.

1442.11Let's hear a round of applause for Steve...POBOX::KALLEVIGBOnward through the Fog...Fri Sep 01 1989 22:107
    Thanks Steve for your help. I know we've talked 'off-line' but I
    didn't want everyone thinking I had dissappeared into the fog. I'll
    be checking the mail...
    
    Thanks again,

1442.12tomorrow, I hope...RAVEN1::DANDREAMoose and Squirrel must die...Tue Sep 05 1989 12:2311
    Ok lads, line up....I've got the cassette and the notes from the
    session where I first heard and learned 'baby blue' by Badfinger.
    I'm planning on polishing up my notes, and 'publishing' via vaxmail
    the lyrics with chords and the various 'picking runs' that turnaround
    and connect some of the chord changes.    
    
    Let me know WHO would like a copy via vaxmail, please.

1442.13Sounds dangerous - count me inRAVEN1::BLAIROnly rock and roll, but I like itTue Sep 05 1989 13:597
    
    	Count me in for Badfinger.  After all it's MY stinking tape!
    	That damn scratchy record cost $30 at a record show.  I told
    	the guy I only wanted to learn how to play a song not bronze
    	it.  
    
    	-pat
1442.14Pat gets the nod...8^)RAVEN1::DANDREAMoose and Squirrel must die...Tue Sep 05 1989 16:4212
    We MUST credit Pat 'rocket' Blair for the availability of the
    chords/lyrics. According to the info from everyone who wants the
    music to this tune, he is the only living human (besides the thief
    that sold him the album) that actually has a recording of the song!!
    AND, if Pat hadn't beaten me into submission to learn the chords
    and leads, we might be still wondering how to play Baby Blue.
    
    Thanks, Pat

    BJ
1442.16It's done...RAVEN1::DANDREAMoose and Squirrel must die...Wed Sep 06 1989 13:506
    I blasted it out today, guys.  Words and music including all of
    the notes to the lead and the turnarounds for Baby Blue by Badfinger.
    If you can't find it on CD, I have a cassette copy ready to mail
    out (to Alan Starr first) for yous guys up north to share.
