Steven Foster Melody nailed!

He nailed it! Just like Chet recorded it waaaaaaaaay back then.

I know there is an alternate tuning here, but not sure what it is. Anybody know what the tuning is?

The only thing I would say on the negative side ( and I’m not being critical because he does a dang good job) is that it doesn’t have quite the “sparkle” of Chet’s original recording. There are multiple factors that could contribute to that, the first of course being Chet’s “touch”

But the chords and fingering, well, he nailed it.

And let me say I know the original recording quite well. It was like one of if not THE very first Chet records I ever heard way back there in ‘68 or ‘69. One of the first times the magic of Chet’s sound entered my young ears. I played the record a zillion times. Almost wore the vinyl out!

Ahhhhhh, what memories, what memories!
