The three

Neil Diamond songs I mentioned earlier are in development (Cracklin' Rosie, September Morn, Forever in Blue Genes)_ They have pretty simple structures and limited number of chords for the most part.  Fun to play and people will like them. One problem is that the studio versions of these songs fade out.  Neil's TV appearances, which are the youtube videos I've been studying, also just fade to applause. So I have to figure out how to give them hard endings.  I'm still experimenting with all three of them...
