And here's another. A little backstory.
Stalwarts of the open Mic I go to are a duo called the 2 Chiefs. Couple of old timers, one plays ridiculously smooth guitar while singing, the other's a devil on the harmonica. Proper crowd pleases so they'll normally close the night, and normally they'll end their set with this song and when you're a few pints in at the end of a night of music, it's sheer perfection. Obviously I knew it was a cover but I had no knowledge of this song beyond the Chiefs. Until tonight.
Off I stroll to YouTube to find a Louis Armstrong song that isn't Wonderful World, and what should I find but a song called Summertime, which was a duet with Ella Fitzgerald. I wondered if it was that Summertime, and it only took a few notes to confirm. Listened all the way through, thought, bloody hell what a gorgeous track, and went straight to learning it, didn't even bother exploring the origins more. For all I know that version could be the version and I'm telling you all about a new invention called the wheel. Someone educate me. Please.
Anyway. This is for Keith and Keith. The 2 Chiefs. Next time I see them I'm gonna ask them if I can play it with them.
