WELCOME TO THE FAMILY

Welcome to the Family by Flicker.
Album: At Least 1000 Words

Fun Facts:
* George had made friends with a Hungarian man called Floyd who showed him a new chord from a Portuguese sea shanty.
* The mystery chord is Bm11b5.
* It is played by holding the A and G strings on the second fret with the first and second fingers, and the D and B strings on the third fret using the third and fourth fingers, with the hi-E open and the lo-E muted.
* The other two chords in the song were A minor and E.
* When George was headhunted by the MD of the company Floyd worked for, Floyd gave him a copy of Mario Puzzo’s book The Godfather, and wrote ‘Welcome to the family!’ inside the front cover.
* Obviously this piece could have no other name.
* Welcome to the Family is in the key of A minor.
* The tempo for this tune is 98.0035 BPM.
* Emma recorded an extra part on the keys that was not used in the end.
* The Stratocaster enters to play rhythm on the second verse.
* The Ice Maiden takes the twin lead parts at the end.
* Some trombone was also planned, but there were no players around at the time, so the final mix remains without it.
