A gotcha is that chords are ok, but unisons are not.  daveA

Br`er Fox told Br`er Rabbit that the Tar Baby had dissed him, and Fox 
made a
dummy out of tar and put him in Rabbit's path.  When the Tar Baby 
failed to
return a civil greeting, Rabbit punched him with a right, a left, both 
feet and
butted him with his forehead.  Along came Br`er Fox who saw that he was
thoroughly "stuck up".  Br`er Fox is much smarter than Br`er Rabbit, 
and in
spite of all Rabbit's pleas for help, no one is going to unstick him 
and throw
him in the briar patch, so now Br`er Fox is liesurely eating Rabbit's 
liver.
