1918. Leo Wood.
another classic song from the great jazz era and ye olden golden days of ukedom.
This one has been recorded by some amazing artists over the years, including Cab Calloway, Fats Waller, Count Basie and Benny Goodman, and, more laterly by Ian Whitcomb, as well as being a live staple of the Jim Kweskin Jug Band. It has also been featured in the scores to a number of films.
I always loved this tune, and, hearing it, felt it would be a pretty easy one to get on top of. Turned out it is much more complex than that...when I scratched the surface I found a number of fast, subtle chord changes in the melody, and by the time I added my own fills and twists, it was a real workout for the left hand.
I recorded it in Fiona's studio this morning, and played a Black Bear macadamia concert uke. Man it's been hot here today...37 celsius..I'm thankful to have got it on the 3rd take as - suited up in hat and tie - the sweat was starting to drip of my nose...he he
If anyone would like a chord transcription just send me a message and I'll email it to you. Thanks for watching folks!
