So Now What?

Okay guys, what do we want to learn next?  Laura wants to do "A Few Old Memories"

Just a few old memories 
C
Slipped in through my door 
G
Though I thought I had closed it 
D
So tightly before 
G
I can't understand it 
C
Why it should bother my mind 
G D G
For it all belongs to another place and time 

G C
Just a few old keep-sakes 
G
Way back on the shelf 
C
No, they don't mean nothin' 
D
Well I'm surprised they're still left 
G
Just a few old love letters 
C
With the edges all brown 
G
And an old faded picture 
D G
I keep turned upside-down 

G C G D G


Just a few old memories 
C
Going way back in time 
G
Well I can hardly remember 
D
I don't know why I'm cryin' 
G
I can't understand it 
C
Well I'm surprised myself 
G
First thing tomorrow morning 
D G
I'll clean off that shelf

Julie gave me a link to NPR's 100 Most Essential Folk Songs, and I recognize several of them (we've even tried a few) and would love to learn several more.

Nathan and Julie both have expressed interest in learning traditional "old timey" dance/fiddle tunes, which sounds great.  We'll talk tomorrow!
