We sat down on the dock and with

our hearts and fingers locked

We laughed and talked and joked about

And joking I said honey are you

marrying me for money

And it took just one quick look to tell

it hurt my dear Dorraine

She jumped and stood above me and

she cried why you don't love me

I'm rowing home across the lake

the oars and made my start

To look for her on raging waters

and the rain on Ponchartrain

At darkness I still called but no

one heard my cries at all

And when the daybreak came then others

except the oars from her rowboat

For all was lost upon the choppy waves

an d rain on Ponchartrain

Now I come day after day to where

my sweetheart rowed away

And I gaze across the water

Just one thing and nothing more

ever floated back to shore

Was this flower I hold it is the one I pinned on

my Dorraine

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon

This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
