Here we go again folks. One more time with feeling…

Steve offered up this candidate for a collaboration. Such a cool tune. I could not help but agree to give it a try: Handbags & Gladrags written by Mike d'Abo, 1967, and performed by Rod Stewart on the album An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down ; Released, May 1970 (US).

Our efforts started in BIAB to map out the chord chart and find a key. The BIAB style was nice, BIAB Chord Chart (.sgu) but we decided to take a different route and find a band to step in for a more authentic cover version.

Hope you enjoy as much as we did. And you come away thinking, “Heck, if those guy can do that, there is nothing stopping me from doing it”. Hope this encourages you to find a way to make music any way you can.
