Missing Classic Song

captainscared — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:00:44 -0800

Shortly, after 9/11 David Letterman hosted Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, and Nancy Griffith performing an acapella version of the Carter Family's' "Will the Circle Be Unbroken." Anyone know where I can find the audio or video of this forgotten classic? Thanks

Nancy Drew as cook and housecleaner?

In one of the early Nancy Drew books, circa 1931-2 or thereabouts, Nancy takes care of an elderly guy ( I think that's the scenario) and actually cooks and cleans for a couple of days at his house. Which book would it be? I've done some searching but I can't find the book or the section? It would be in the early chapters of one of the early books, I think? It may have been edited out in the updates, but should still appear in the Applewood editions? Anybody of the hive mind, have any ideas? Thanks!

Name that chord!

What is the guitar chord being played by Nancy Wilson at 0:44-0:47 in this Heart video? I cant for the life of me figure out what the hell that is or which fingers are on what frets; doesn't look like any of the moveable barre shapes or open chords I know. But I'm absolutely sure I've seen that (or similar) before on other videos, and I'm thinking it must be something fairly common. Anyone care to clue me in?
