From This Might Be A Wiki

Hello there!

I'm just another West Coast Canadian fan of TMBG, and after seeing them for the first time for the April 22 2023 show in Vancouver, I wanted to make an account and join in on the fun.

I got into TMBG because of how much I'd see them appear on kids shows (Blue's Clues I think was the first for me), Malcolm in the Middle, Homestar Runner, and on my own time. While they weren't the influence for me to learn accordion-- that goes to Weird Al and Barenaked Ladies-- they've since become one of my all-time favourite bands, right next to Earth Wind & Fire, R.E.M., Talking Heads, and Primus.

Using the site is still new to me, but I'll try my best here.

I've been using the guitar tab for a good majority of the songs I've wanted to learn. A few feel a bit incorrect to me though, but I trust my ears as well as others' ears here for the songs I love. My hope is to one day make a "fake book" of each of their albums, probably written for piano+vocals but I think the chords could be interchangeable.

k thx! -Charlie5L
