https://soundclick.com/song/15216114Yet another recent public domain tune - The usual caveat re my vox applies, but harp was a wee bit sub par too because I don't do 170 BPM well. RealTracks in style: ~443:Bass, Acoustic, Jazz Sw 190 RealTracks in style: ~449:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Jazz Sw 190 RealTracks in style: ~558:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm Jazz Freddie Sw 190 RealTracks in song: ~~766:Guitar, Electric, Soloist Jazz Sw 190 (Bluesy) Oliver Gannon RealDrums [in style:JazzBrushes: a: Brushes Swirling b: Brushes Busier Harmonica - Me Vocal - Me Lyrics - AFAIK, this classic only has one verse. So I wrote a second verse as a tribute to PG Music and the good folks on this forum. Hope it will be well received. VERSE ONE I got rhythm I got music I got my gal Who could ask for anything more? I got daisies In green pastures I got my gal Who could ask for anything more? Old Man Trouble I don't mind him you won't find him 'Round my door, No I got starlight I got sweet dreams I got my gal Who could ask for anything more? Who could ask for anything more? VERSE TWO I got rhythm I got my harp I got band in a box Who could ask for anything more I got good friends On the forum Never bore 'em Who could ask for anything more Old Guy Troubles, I've got plenty Got no money, Just aches by the score yeah I got rhythm, I got my harp I got Ollie (Gannon) Who could ask for anything more Who could ask for anything more

A good jazz song. It's true that, like you, I'm not very comfortable with fast tempos, but you handle it very well. Keep up the rhythm.

Rob,
This is superb! Nothing sub par about your harp playing. It absolutely works for this arrangement.
Great vocal again and an excellent mix.
And this passage below was awesome!
"I got rhythm I got my harp
I got band in a box
Who could ask for anything more
I got good friends On the forum
Never bore 'em"
Loved all of this!
Bob

Oh, yes you do, Bob. What a terrific tribute --that second verse. LOVE IT!! Of course, my favorite part was the harp solo, followed by was-that Charlie Christian on guitar.

Rob,
Love it.
Cool vocals, cool harp.
This has always been one of my favorite songs...it was one of the first AM radio hits - by The Happenings - that I ever heard (1967). Stuck with me after that....
Thanks for the reminder!

Ha! Well, Rob...you do INDEED have rhythm! Super job on this. Love your vocals and FWIW the superb harp solo does not indicate anything "sub par" to my ears. The 2nd verse is quite inspired. Really like your arrangement and the spacing you used. Oliver's solo sits right in there, too. Great mix as well!
Never bore 'em!

I started at 190, but quickly realized I'd have to reduce it. I flubbed two notes on the harp, not bad for 170 BPM. 130 or less is more my comfort zone.

Nice take on this old classic! Man, I had no idea this song was that old. Love the harp solo, and that guitar solo is perfect. Enjoyed your second verse  Nicely done!

Stuck with me after that....thanks for the reminder!fj Fj, I forgot all about that version! The vocal arrangement was awesome, it had a 4 Seasons feel to it IMO. They also had a hit with "See You In September." Two-hit wonders!

Bob, a fantastic version of an old classic.
Super harp and vocals.
Loved that second verse as well as the entire song

Hi Rob! Good vocal, and nothing wrong with the harp at all! In awe actually of anyone being able to play an instrument (and compose on it) that well. I first became aware of this song through a cover by Mike Oldfield of Tubular Bells fame (YouTube - Mike Oldfield - I got rhythm) which I later found out was originally from a musical. His is a really different version. The female vocalist is Nico Ramsden. Andrew

Great version of this old classic! Your harmonica playing is excellent, and so is the instrumentation, which is impressive as it totally evokes the era.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

The chords in this song, usually called "Rhythm Changes," are the most famous chords in the history of jazz improvisation. I should have mentioned that in the OP.

Rhythm changes are a little daunting, so I'm glad you felt my solo was up to snuff. I didn't really tackle the bridge properly, but it was passable, I guess. Thanks again for the encouragement, it means a lot!

Cool take on a oldie and a goodie. I remember playing this in pep band, and maybe marching band too, in high school. The harmonica sounds like a professional BIAB track.

Wow, thanks for that very flattering comment about the harp! Appreciate it. I know the vox aren't much to write home about, so I have to make up for it in other ways. Thanks again!! PS: What instrument did you play in your high school bands?
