Notes game

[Matt Butcher]

(Sorry, yes - )

There's a great recording of the Exodus theme by Ernest Ranglin, and it does go a bit like that, but that's not what I had in mind:

D/F/A/G/D/G/D/Eflat/G/Bflat/A/Enatural

It's about transport.

Me too ... I can make a nice tune, but I can't recognise it !

 

[Matt Butcher]

I knew I'd pick a stupid tune. I wasn't trying to be clever, it was something that came up in conversation at the time... It's a standard, I would say, not some obscure reggae or liscio or anything...

D/F/A/G/D/G/D/Eflat/G/Bflat/A/Enatural/F/Bflat/D/A/C/G

It's about inefficient maritime transport.

 

[Corsaire]

Slow boat to China ? (bit before my time :lol: )

 

[Matt Butcher]

That's the one! Over to you...

 

[Corsaire]

Here we go :

D G B D G B

It could be watery ...

 

[Soulsaver]

Come To the Sea?

 

[JeffJetton]

D G B D G B

It could be watery ...

Im assuming you didnt have A-Hunting We Will Go in mind then?

 

[Corsaire]

No, not the sea, nor hunting though think inland !

 

[geoff45789]

This is a lot more difficult than I imagined. I've been thinking inland water but can't make these notes fit with Loch Lomond, The Lakes of Ponchartrain or On the Bayou. Not to mention any number of rivers. I'm afraid I'm stuck. Any further clues?

 

[Reedwarbler]

Is it "Under the Bridges of Paris"?

"How would you like to be / Down by the Seine with me"

 

[Corsaire]

Well done, Reedwarbler ! Got it in one.
By the way, I heard a reed warbler singing only a few yards away from me - the most incredible sound.
Over to you !

 

[Reedwarbler]

Us Reedwarblers get around



Here is an easy one

I knew I knew the tune but couldnt put my finger on it ... :roll:

[Corsaire]

Ah, I think I know the tune but can't for the life of me remember the name - if indeed I ever knew it, ha ha !

 

[Reedwarbler]

Ah, I think I know the tune but cant for the life of me remember the name - if indeed I ever knew it, ha ha !

A little trawling of the internet is required, I think

 

[Corsaire]

I'm sure it's French, but just cannot think of it's title. It'll probably come to me at some awkward moment !!

 

[Soulsaver]

Ah, I think I know the tune but cant for the life of me remember the name - if indeed I ever knew it, ha ha !

I think thatll be a recurring feature in this game

 

[Reedwarbler]

Would it be better if I told you the name and you tell me the notes?
