Notes From John
Swing feel. Verse 1 sung an octave lower. BPM = 128.
For the player
JD McPherson on Undivided Heart & Soul — rockabilly grit under a bad-luck tall tale. John’s chart writes the verse up but marks “sung an octave lower” on the open; don’t sing the written octave there. Swing the eighths. Dynamics climb from mf into the chorus f — ride that, don’t flatten it. Sit at BPM = 128. Listen first; the penny’s the hook, the pocket is the swing.
