E9: The old Cialis theme

Post by Frank Freniere »

Jimmy the guitar player and I sometimes play this during lulls on the bandstand to amuse ourselves.

Edited 3/12/12: After scores of complaints, I've amended the title to reflect that Cialis has changed the bed beneath the TV ad. Click here for the commercial.

Cute. But when I try to play this, my guitar has the urge to tip over from back to the front. :whoa:

If it takes over four hours to learn this riff, call your doctor

Frank, when you were over here in the seventies, did you ever watch this program?

Hey Jo -

"What Am I?"

No, I don't recall watching much TV while I was there as a student. I spent almost a year in and around Munich, listening to "Schlagers" like "Es faehrt ein Zug (nach nirgendwo)."

Thanks for your reply.
"What am I ?" actualy meant "What is my profession?".
The jury had to find out the trade of the candidate. He made a small gesture with his hands first, and then the questions started.

Our version of that show was the old black-and-white "What's My Line?" (of work) where celebrity panelists asked a series of yes/no questions about the guest's occupation until they got a "no," or they made a guess: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What's_My_Line%3F

Thanks to your reply, I came back to this thread and discovered, unbelievably, I screwed up this simple tab. I'll make the correction to the first note of the fourth bar as soon as time permits.
