Two old standards brought together for this medley. & a spoonful of sugar. Hope you like my version. The pics gathered from the web are all of rivers in the Highlands of Scotland.
Had a nasty bacterial virus last weekend which ended up with me in hospital for a couple of days. Fine now though.

Was enjoying an old recording of Nat Cole singing that one (Sit Right Down and...) just the other night, furry.

Another "good ole good 'un" as Satchmo used ta say...

Man. I thought that it was either bacteria or virus. Now we have both combined?

Glad you're doing better, though. Keep on keepin' on.

Your rendition of "Sit Right Down and..." brought back memories of my Army days. Back in January of '58 I was transferred to the Guided Missile Corporal School in El Paso (Ft. Bliss). Well, we met a piano player named Milton Luce, formed a trio on the base, and that was our theme song for a few months, until I shipped out to Germany with the unit...and left Milton, who loved that song, behind. He claimed he had written it, but I new he was a bit young (22) to claim it.

We had a Special Services Quintet...mostly jazz number...when we finally settled in Nurenberg in June of 57....but still played that same song, with a jazz feel.

When I first started out playing music out of high school, with a college-age Dixieland band in Chicago, back in '53, we also played "...write myself a letter" with a New Orleans Style...I was on banjo then. In subsequent years I transmogrified into Diz/Charlie Parker/Miles Davis, etc. music!
The song works!!! In another quartet, our piano player doubled beautifully on Accordian, and played it in a groovey swing style!! Got me hummin' the tune again with your fine rendition of it and Sugar!

By the way, my Cairne Terrier, "Tiger", sends his best Scottish regards!! He's seven and a hand-full, like most Scotts I've known.!! Take care of yourself!!!

Great as usual Graham....I love listening to your music. Have you considered videoing youself playing? I'm sure everyone on this forum would love to see you in action as well as listening to you.

Sorry to hear you've been unwell, but glad to hear you're on the mend.


Cheers,
Keith

Thanks a lot folks, I'm feeling much better and enjoyed getting this together. As for filming, we havn't got a camcorder just now. One of these days I might. However so many people enjoy the pictures as well as the music it would be a shame to have a mugshot spoiling it

Save yer hard earned money, Graham, I mean, about those cameras: Every one I've hooked up and pointed at myself has immediately broken and can't be fixed, junk I tellya! Smoke, fire, the occasional small explosion. As soon as I get in front of the dang things...

Thanks Ian, I hate pointing the damn things at myself too. Even more nervewracking than when I did an audition fro BBC radio Scotland many years ago

The techician had about 20 ruddy great mikes all around me and he asked me if I was nervous.
I was sitting calmly reading the paper and I think it annoyed him a bit

You're lucky - live mic I'm fine - put a recording mic, radio or TV mic in front of me and up pop the old fears - sounding stupid, out of pitch, you know . . .
Keep up the good work - BTW how do you do the photo transitions?

Ian,
Windows Movie Maker, which comes on XP forward, does a nice job of it.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
