About "Slide" and "Calvary (a facsimile)"

  "Slide" by Monty Dicksion

  The original song, "Calvary" by Gary Duncan

  The description of this two-song medley is in the video.

  I'll just add these two things:

  The reason that I put these two songs in one video is because that's the way I used to practice them.  I would play Slide and then I would go straight from that into the opening chords of Calvary, although I didn't know how to play any more of it than that until I started working on it for the ALAICMI project.

  Anyway, often when I'd practice I would play some of my songs in a certain order.  It served as a kind of memory aid.

  You might find it helpful too to practice in that way.

  The other thing I have to say here is that of all the 30 songs in the ALAICMI collection, I will never play Calvary live.  When you watch the video, you will understand why.
