Subject: Submission-My Kind of Carrying On

My Kind of Carryin On
as recorded on Sun Records by Doug Poindexter and the Starlite Wranglers

Here is my interpretation of the words and chord basics for this strange
little gem I found on the Sunbox, a three LP box set of early Sun
recordings. According to the liner notes, this was Poindexter's only
recording for Sun (Sun 202), recorded in May 1954. As I said, this song is
both strange and a gem, so try to hear the original recording if you can. I
have tried to place the downbeats properly with the words, and yes, there
are six unbroken measures of C in the middle of the chorus. 

Hope you enjoy this.  --Nick Adams   nadams@infowest.com
