Goodbye Ol^? Missoula
Willis Alan Ramsey
Willis Alan Ramsey recorded one classic album on Leon s Shelter
records back in 73 or 74. The album has been reissued on CD.
W A Ramsey is still giggin ya gotta see im.
The notation is as follows: the numbers correspond to the key
scale notes. In the key of A, 1 = A; 2 = B; b3 = C where
3 = C#, etc. The extensions are 1dom7 = A7; 1j7 = Amaj7;
1- or 1-7 = Am or Am7. No extension makes the chord simply
a major triad. The | is a bar line and / is a beat within a
measure that designates playing the same as previous chord.
No bar lines means the chord will get an entire measure s
time. Two chords per measure split the measure exactly in
half. W.A. actually plays in different tunings, these
changes are really implied voicings.
