I left for FOPAL at 8am, and worked there until 1:30pm. Leaving behind still 5 boxes of books. So I need to go back tomorrow.
At home I futzed around with “Annie’s Song”. I obtained sheet music and transposed it to the correct key for me. Then I tried playing it on the guitar while singing. Nope, nunh-uh, I can’t do anything like how Denver played it.
So that means getting the audio and doing basically karaoke, which is OK. Except John sings it in D, rather high, and I need to sing it much lower, in A. So I did the trick with the AI web sites that I’ve done for previous Good Times shows. One site will extract the audio from a YouTube link. That gets me Denver singing as a audio file. The other site will take the audio file and pitch-shift it to whatever key you want, so that gives me the Denver audio but him singing in A, a low tenor range instead of a high tenor. Finally, that site also has the function of stripping out a vocal leaving the accompaniment. That will give me the karaoke music I need.
