My fingerstyle guitar tribute to John Lennon’s ironic “HER MAJESTY”; my cat sang the lyrics but she was sitting at the wrong side of the microphone:
GlennP from Florida was so kind to make my ragtime guitar fingerstyle arrangement so much more interesting by adding his self written lyrics and genial vocals: “HIGH CLASS GIRL”

I played the chord progression five times

or the lost cat vocals,

I see, you know the lyrics, Elisa:
“Her Majesty’s a pretty nice girl,
but she doesn’t have a lot to say
Her Majesty’s a pretty nice girl
but she changes from day to day
I want to tell her that I love her a lot
But I gotta get a bellyful of wine
Her Majesty’s a pretty nice girl
Someday I’m going to make her mine, oh yeh,
someday I’m going to make her mine…”
P.S.:
When John Lennon sang this
into the face of Queen Elizabeth,
was she really amazed?
I remember he wanted the royals
to tap the rhythm by shaking their diamonds …

Ha, knowing what little I do of the queen, she was probably secretly tapping her foot under her skirts, thinking how saucy this young John Lennon was behaving!

I had to plus my headphones into my laptop because I knew this was going to be good. I was a wee one with 3 older siblings when the Beatles took the world by storm and sometimes when I hear their music I think it almost defines me. Kelly Clarkson has so many layers. Loved it. Thanks for making my night!

“I imagine she’s a pretty nice girl….” That “Her Majesty”?
HIgh Class Girl is pretty cool, very bluegrass-y (I think). The lyrics fit well with the melody and accompaniment. Nice job. It’s been a long time since I’ve written any songs worth publishing. The poem in my B . . . Is For Barn is is about as poetic as I’ve waxed in recent years. Don’t know if it’s laziness or I just don’t care any more. Except for my f-stop fantasy blog (at least of late), I haven’t been keeping up with my writing blogs very well. I must be getting old. 🙂
