Oh, my God! That was freaking amazing!
Peter. Peter. I'm exhausted. Allow me to please catch my breath.
The song sounds so vintage. So retro cool. The playing is impeccable--the slides, the picking. My head is swimming! Your singing is superb, and I truly appreciate that you took the time to write the lyrics. A swinging romp, jumpy and fast, a dash through the years of 1920--leave the Empire State, stock market crash (while Paris dined). You even have a change in tone--a break--just like the pro songmeisters. You could sell this to Hollywood (along with Night Under The Stars). I can picture this song in a Woody Allen film!
You must promise to never ever take that video off youtube. I will watch it forever, my friend.
This is a link to an interview with Barry Humphries in a serious mode. He is talking about his love for music of the Weimar Republic (Germany 1919 - 1933). In addition to the list of songs he chose, he talks about the composers and musicians so you can search on their names and track down some more music. I think if you enjoy the music in Petes video you will enjoy surfing around looking and listening to the Weimar music.
