They say "you learn something new everyday" Well, I certainly learned something new at a recent music festival here in the UK. Jamming with a fellow music lover, I was asked if I knew Wayfaring Stranger, I said sure, what key do you do it in, I was asked, Am, says I. My new friend produced a book with it in Dm, I looked at it, only to see that "Gordon Lightfoot had used the tune for The way I feel." That sure WAS news to me. But playing it slowly and mournfully, Wayfaring Stranger is in certainly there. Wow. I suspect that little pearl of wisdom is hidden elsewhere on this site.
