Excellent! Thanks for sharing this.

Glad you guys are enjoying it. A side note - Cavett's autobiography, now out of print, is a great read.

So he ended up going with the G# minor chord (the one D.C. calls Hawaiian) in the finished song, although he puts it over an E bass, so it's actually an E maj 7.

(N.B. He's playing the song in D here, but the recorded version is in G, so the chord on the bridge in the recorded version is an A maj 7.)

You're welcome.

Nerd!

But you are just saying the same thing that the guy above you said.
