Topic: New Tab Postings
Posted today is Harlequin's "Superstitious Feeling", from the band's One False Move (1982) album. It's also on their Greatest Hits CD (pictured). This is one from the request file, as the Harlequin tabs often are. There's not too much to say about it, except here's some more Harlequin. That always seems to be a pretty good decision around here. Harlequin is one of the most-viewed bands on the site. Of course, in regard to that, a lot depends on how many tabs of a particular band are on the site, and Harlequin has more than most. But I guess that's because people seem interested in them, and I don't think there are many tabs of theirs available. So I keep doing them.
I'm not adding the song to the video page because the only video footage available on YouTube has only part of the song, and the quality is a bit rough. I will link to that footage from this blog post, though.

This is one of those songs that you think is going to be no problem. Two minute pop song, fairly simple melody. Then you work out the first chord. E flat. Ugh. Then you know it's trouble.
Well, in some footage it did, anyhow. So much for the simple pop song. So I re-worked the chord chart, doing it in E. But for somebody who just wants to strum chords, I still think it's easier to capo and play it in D. So I've included both versions. Of course, you can always strum it in E, not tune down, and just don't play with the record. Your options are boundless. 
Everybody loves the "No Time" guitar Intro...don't they? It seems that way. I can remember watching The Guess Who (on TV) during the halftime show of the 2000 Grey Cup game in Calgary, and thinking (probably for the umpteenth time) what a great guitar part it is. And once, a few years ago when I was in a record store getting checked through the cash, this song came on over the PA, and the guy checking me through even had to stop and air guitar a bit, and talk about what a great guitar part it is. 
What is this? This is a rock song."
"Cousin Mary", one of Fludd's most famous songs, came from the band's most infamous album, 1972's oddly titled ... On! The intention had been to name the album "Cock On!", but the band's label (Daffodil Records) couldn't sell the idea to their distributor (Capitol Records). Rather than change the title altogether, they just reduced it. Also scrapped for being controversial was the photo for the inside gatefold sleeve, which showed the band naked but for coats. The album was eventually re-issued in 1996 with its originally planned title. 
A new tab added today, Bachman-Turner Overdrive's "Takin' Care Of Business". In a 1999 interview, Randy Bachman gave an account of how BTO's signature song came to be:
Wide Mouth Mason's first CD came out in 1997, when music was still in the grip of grunge. When I first heard some of their songs, I thought they were a breath of fresh air. They were stellar musicians, with a relaxed blues-jazz-pop-rock sound. And I also felt that before too long Shaun Verreault would be included among the likes of Alex Lifeson, Randy Bachman, Rik Emmett, Jeff Healy, etc., as a Canadian guitarist of note.
