Yet 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!

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.


Enjoy whatever happens!

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!

No, SIR!!!
