That was pretty incredible. Never heard of this song. Leave it to Donny, our resident music historian to dig this up. I heard the fellow on the mike say it was an old Mills Brothers tune. I consider myself more informed today than I was yesterday. Thanks Donny.

God Bless,
Don

"If you guys don't make a real effort to post things here with the right chords, I'm gonna stop listening.

Gary,

There's your cue. Start recording.

Donny's videos should make Boo smile! Serious jazz by musicians with incredible skills.

God Bless,

The rendition of More I was trying to emulate was the one by Montovani, which I've always thought was the best.



Boo, as stated above, I play this song in the chords that are suitable to my vocal range - not the original chords. That said, I have a couple dozen Hal Leonard books, and sitting down with them and manually transposing the chords to my vocal range would take several hours for each of the thousands of song I currently perform. That's nuts. And, many of the songs I've checked out on those sites that you condemned were identical in chord structure to the Leonard books. Granted, some didn't have dozens of passing chords that I could not play if I wanted to, but some of the sites did have them.

Next, you criticize our audiences, to which I take offense. By and large, our audiences do not consist of Peabody trained musicians, but for the most part they are highly educated individuals who reside at these facilities because they have outlived their bodies. The are quite intelligent and they know what kind of entertainment they enjoy. Over the years, I have become friends with many of them, I've performed at their wedding anniversaries, visited them when they've been hospitalized and attended their funerals.

Your arrogant (they suck)post did nothing to help anyone, especially me, the guy that has helped you so many times over these many years when your PC was screwed up, and spent hours on the telephone walking you through the technical problems you could not solve on your own. Your comments were anything but constructive criticism. I considered not posting the song on this forum for that very reason. When I get CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM, such as that received from Uncle Dave when I posted Merry Christmas Darling many years ago, I was able to garner his information and transform the song from something awful to something that my audiences loved to hear every Christmas. What I get from my old friend Boo is "You suck at music and why did you post this horrible rendition that hurts my ears. It's not in the original chords and it's not jazz, so it sucks." Essentially, you're telling me and others that if we don't play the way you enjoy playing, we should not be entertainers and arranger keyboard players, especially if we make our livings doing so.

All the best from a jive-asssed musician/entertainer,

Gary

Damn, I'm getting old...spent more time listing to Brian play than I did watching his daughter shake her ***!

Especially liked the musical reference to "Moanin" at the end. Brian's GREAT!

Check out Les McCann's version of "Compared to What, with Eddie Harris. A real protest song, banned fro the air.

Les is from Lexington, and almost single handedly led the charge from R&B into Fusion, my favorite kind of music to play.

GOOD STUFF. ALL!

Ray Benson. Love Asleep At The Wheel.

Col, those are the same chords I used, I downloaded them from Chordie.com.

Thanks, and I'll try not to piss off Boo by not uploading any more songs to this site.

Gary

Thanks, Gary. I watched the whole thing...there's a monologue by Harris at the end that's hilarious!

the version I normally refer to is on from the 60's,. but this one it GREAT!


Thanks,


Russ

Those guys are really incredible musicians.

All the best,

Gary
