Leroy Brown Leroy Brown (also known as Bad Bad Leroy Brown) is the tile of a 1972 Jim Croce song that is in a classic shuffle style, with the drums playing a long-short pattern (triplets notated here as a dotted 8th, 16th note pattern):  The bass player plays tonic dominant four to a bar, while the guitar plays a bluesy gospel figure:  The teacher part for Trucking Along from American Popular Piano Level 4 doubles the bass and plays a more primitive version of the guitar part. It really does “truck along”:  American Popular Piano Repertoire Level 4 – Trucking Along Repertoire Level 7 – Down the Track iTunes Bad Bad Leroy Brown – Jim Croce Manhattan Transfer – Operator Related Styles Swing Blues Shuffle../../2008/8/30_FourRepTOC.html../../2008/8/30_FourRepTOC.html../../2008/5/31_SevenRepTOC.htmlhttp://itunes.apple.com/us/album/bad-bad-leroy-brown/id292468935?i=292469259http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/operator/id299556221?i=299556268../1/14_BluesShuffle.htmlshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1shapeimage_2_link_2shapeimage_2_link_3shapeimage_2_link_4shapeimage_2_link_5
