One of my favorite tunes! You did a super fine job and sounded real "Chet-ish" for sure!! Do another one soon!! One thing tho......I think there may be a "HELIUM" leak right there on stage cause right at the end I could'a swore I heard Pixie and Dixie (cartoon meeces)! Great pickin'!!!! Steve

me thinks your write Mark fine pickin

Thanks Bob

Good find, Mark. Great tune. I thumb picked a little of this tune for my aunt when she was still with us and getting close to 100. After I was through I asked, "What was the name of that tune, Wawa?" She barked back, "Humoresque - but, it doesn't go like that!" lol ---- Ya see, she was around before Chet "added a fourth beat to each measure...." (wink)

Palmer

Nice performance and tune for sure. Based on Palmer's note, now I have to research the extra beat. I'm only familiar with Chet doing this song. As we all outa be LOL.

@GaryL: The original tune was a lilting "music box" arrangement; Chet gave it swing. LMark

My only knowledge of this tune was when Chet played it, also. But, my aunt was damned near a centenarian and a devout Southern Baptist - sooo, there was a slim possibility I was going to convince her that this youngster, Chet, played it the "right" way.

The video is of a group in Germany. He posts on the Gretsch pages sometimes. He tells me they play Chet tunes exclusively. They do a good job.

Here's a mistake riddled version from me... I was only just learning it when I posted this up so it's a bit embarrassing now... Since then I've been learning a lot of different Chet tunes - he is my hero that's for sure.

Bravo MrAstro, I hope to see more songs soon ...

PS ---> Fine guitars on display ....



Thanks for posting this LMark.
