Javalina String Band is the name I made up for my hillbilly music project. The model I'm using for this is Split Lip Rayfield's treatment of "Love Oh Love Please Come Home". They pretty much nailed it as far as what I want to listen to in that line.

These sixty songs are what I picked out to practice singing and playing banjo at the same time, which is what I'm trying to learn how to do. I have posted them up here because for one thing, if something happens to my charts, I can print them off this google blog and not have to try and reconstruct them from memory. For another thing, if anybody wants to play with me, I can direct them to this and use it for a band book..

I got most of them off an excellent site called classic-country-song-lyrics.com and there is a lot more there. I just pulled out the few I thought I recognized from some of my favorite artists and then checked them against youtube to see if they were the ones I thought they were. The balance are off some deadhead sites, primarily off the rukind website, which is an encyclopedia of all things Dead; some I got off a site called jerrygarciatabs.com.

The places where I crossed out their chords and put my own are not supposed to be because I thought I knew better, but because I thought the changes would help me with what I'm trying to do; which is not to play them like the original recordings at all.
