From the salmon-colored sofa that is the center of the Arlo & Janis universe, this unique and quixotic comic strip has been just about everywhere. From unvarnished human drama to flights of unfettered comic fantasy, from unabashed pathos to unsurpassed observational wit, Arlo & Janis is perhaps the most unpigenholeable comic strip ever. It also invents new words!
The characters Arlo and Janis have played the parts of mermaids, squirrels, alligators and grasshoppers over the years, all while exploring the unexaggerated human condition and managing to become, with their son Gene, perhaps the most believable family in the funny pages. This unique approach has garnered Arlo & Janis an intelligent and engaged readership and guaranteed that a percentage of it will be confused at any given moment. However, readers eagerly return every day for another quaff from what has been the holy grail for a generation of comic-strip authors: quintessential Boomer humor.

It is one of the many Beatles songs I play, and one of songs I actually dare to (try to) sing. (Capo on the third fret, for anyone who would like to try it.)

Thanks. That last one could be my wife’s comment.

I don’t sing in the shower as much as I used to, but the songs I sang at least I did know all the words
Maybe the reason I quit singing in the shower is that all the songs I know by heart are at least a decade or more old

“Maybe the reason I quit singing in the shower is that all the songs I know by heart are at least a decade or more old”
The reason I’ve stopped singing in the shower is that age has throttled my singing voice. Otherwise, I have no compunction about singing golden oldies from the ’40’s and ’50’s, as well as standards from Gilbert and Sullivan, Mozart, what-have-you. Let ’er rip!

Well, I know all the words to all of them! (And not the silly music-hall version of Mandalay: look up the whole poem by Kipling, and sing it to “Waltzing Matilda”.)

Minnesota multitasking: getting in touch with your roots by memorizing ‘Norwegian Wood’ while ice fishing.

thebird55: Never mind fretting, just give me the key and I will fake it on trombone. Like Gokie5, my voice shows signs of not being used.

This way Arlo doesn’t have to pay royalties.

Now I’m officially embarrassed. When I picked up my guitar I realized the capo goes on the second fret. (So muck for memory.) I’m not sure what key it is, but it starts out in E.
