Hopefully my recording misery is now fixed, so this is a bit of a Test. A bit of BiaB GJ Fun. Started out as a version of 'Nivram' by The Shadows but 'somehow' it kind of morphed into other things along the way. Superb backing by my BiaB GJ Quartet (lol) as below - RealTracks in song: 1445:Bass, Acoustic, GypsyJazzLatin Ev 165 RealTracks in style: 1198:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm GypsyJazzFastGonzalo Sw 220 RealTracks in style: 1199:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm GypsyJazzFastJohn Sw 250 RealTracks in song: 1173:Accordion, Rhythm PopCalypso Ev 100 RealDrums [in style:GypsyJazzSw: a: Brushes Light b: Brushes Heavy I hope you enjoy it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrPjJcnPVGwSorry about the pics on the video. lol!!

my goodness how darn CUTE.
well well done...loved that last chord.
anything shadows is fine by me.
how bout taking one of the shads lesser known songs,
and doing a modern version.
eg one of my favs is 'the savage'.
i loved the gtr tone the shads got.

Hi OM Thanks for listening. Yes, brought up on The Shadows. The Sausage was so hard to get 'right' - but when you did - - ! The rhythm guitarist used to hate it. Last chord - G6. 12th fret, first 4 strings. I once did Peace Pipe reggae style (BiaB BT of course) at a Shadows Club. Nearly got lynched!  Bests Ian

I think it's from the Reunited Tour. Hank plays a later version of The Savage than the original (called Witch Doctor in the film The Young Ones). Bruce Welch's rythmn technique on this is legend.

Sixchannel.
i think the key is to keep that right hand very very relaxed and loose. ie cant tense at all.
another fast rhythm one if i remember is beatles all my loving.
i cant do that speed these days.
frankly i listen to that shads concert and marvel at the brilliant melodies. soooo many hooky riffs which i dont hear in modern songs these days in billboard top songs.
i lament the lack of memorable hooks these days.
very little on billboard cranks me up.

What a sensational laid back delivery, with all of the seamless segues along the way.
Really nice.

Hi Trev
Glad you enjoyed it.
Obviously a very 'marmite' track, not to everyone's taste.
Best regards
Ian

Nice one.
I was a "hits" fan in Oz...they weren't as ubiquitous here as in the UK.

Hi Ray, thanks for listening.
The Shadows did OK in Oz but not fantastic. However, Hank Marvin hadxa solo No1 with 'Sasha' later on.

Hi Josie
Glad you enjoyed it.
The tune everyone misses is the chorus that folloes Blue Moon. Its NOT the Blue Moon chorus, its the chorus from Cliff Richard's 'Summer Holiday'. Lol.

Darn, how could I have missed that? !! So obvious. BTW, where did the name MINVAR come from? Is it related to 'minimum variance', as that would explain a lot of things that occurred. (And I enjoyed another listen  )

Darn, how could I have missed that? !! So obvious. BTW, where did the name MINVAR come from? Is it related to 'minimum variance', as that would explain a lot of things that occurred. (And I enjoyed another listen ) It was a sneaky one. The chords are 'similar' and when I tried it out, it didnt stick out 'like a sore thumb', as we Poms say, so in it went. The 4 bar cameo 'sailors hornpipe' towards the end is a nod of apprecation to Jet Harris, The Shadows bass guitarist who popped it in on the original. Aside - I met Jet and his wife once. Despite his legendary past history, he was a lovely, unassuming, chatty chap. MINVAR? The main theme throughout is The Shadows 'Nivram', an anagram of the lead guitarists' name, Hank Marvin. And Minvar is also an anagram of it. OK,OK, I was stuck for a title, right?!. Bests Ian

Ha ha, you made me laugh. I might have thought of an anagram, but I would never have thought of an anagram of an anagram  (However, your association with Aleck Rand should have been a clue  )
