Linear Wheel of 5ths

Submitted by Connie Stinnett

One day when we were off for weather, I sat around and looked at the relations between the sharps and flats. I was surprised to see so many mirrored patterns. Maybe someone else could see the wheel of 5ths more easily in this, too

Lyrics for Low Rider and Evil Ways

Submitted by Connie Stinnett

Low Rider by Clarence “Sonny” Henry 1967

All my friends know the low rider
The low rider is a little higher

Low rider drives a little slower
Low rider is a real goer

Low rider knows every street, yeah
Low rider is the one to meet, yeah

Low rider don’t use no gas now
Low rider don’t drive too fast

Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip and see

Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip with me

Evil Ways by Jerry Goldstein and War 1974

You’ve got to change your evil ways, baby
Before I stop lovin’ you
You’ve got to change, baby
And every word that I say is true

You got me runnin’ and hidin’ all over town
You got me sneakin’ and a-peepin’ and runnin’ you down
This can’t go on
Lord knows, you got to change, baby

Baby, when I come home, baby
My house is dark and my pots are cold
You hang around, baby
With Jean and Joan and-a who knows who

I’m gettin’ tired of waiting and fooling around
I’ll find somebody who won’t make me feel like a clown
This can’t go on
Lord knows, you got to change
