Help us promote our show for Haiti!

Here's the brand-new poster for Many Hands, a family concert to benefit Haiti. The show is part of our variety show series at the Knitting Factory in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

In addition to the Deedle Deedle Dees, the event will also feature Dog on Fleas and Gustafer Yellowgold. We've all contributed tracks to the Many Hands album (so did Pete Seeger, Randy Kaplan, Lunch Money, Dan Zanes, TMBG, Elizabeth Mitchell and many others).

Download this image and print it out (let us know if you can't -- we'll e-mail you the jpg). Hang it up in your favorite local business. Or on the front of your house. And of course bring your whole family to the show!

Major Deegan lyrics and chords

A mom wrote today asking for the chords to "Major Deegan" so that she could strum and sing it with her boys. We've actually had this request a number of times before and I'm only just now getting around to posting them.

Any other songs you'd like to learn? Let me know and I'll post the changes.

If you'd like to play along with me, visit SingalongwithLloyd on YouTube. There are two versions of "Major Deegan," one solo, one with Chris on the banjo.
