RBSinTo Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I knew. I've been playing this song for a couple of years, and it is essentially a chord per beat. Excellent warm-up song for the left hand. RBSinTo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Nice job! I love this song too. One forum member (Buc) has a killer ukulele version that’s magic as well. keep these songs alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I like the song. I've never played it but lots of chords is typical for a jazz song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent warm-up song for the left hand. RBSinTo I wouldn't mind hearing your version.... I try to listen to several versions of a song before I put an arrangement together. It's tough to compete with Bobby Darin...kinda like doin' an Elvis or Sinatra song! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day, several of us posted a song he wrote, "Helldorado"....it's a great song...but no one can do it like Buc did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this song is more difficult that Mack.... even though Mack changes keys 4 times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBSinTo Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) Rob, Another song covered by Bobby Darin that has chord per beat choruses is "Artificial Flowers", written by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick for the musical "Tenderloin". Darin was multi-talented, had a wonderful voice, and died far too young. As for hearing my version, I have neither the gear nor the talent to record and then assail the ears of others with my singing and playing. Except for playing with our Grand-daughters in their Music School recitals, the world will never know the musical stylings of RBSinTo .

I told Buc I'd back him up any time. Are you familiar with Krasi? Now THERE'S a master...gifted with a beautiful voice and talented fingers.... If I ever get to Bulgaria, I'd love to sit in with him!

kwalker201 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) Very nice tune. If Ray gets your HB I got dibs on the hat!😀 Edited June 29, 2022 by kwalker201 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use different hats to help me sort out the songs on my iPhone after I video them..... I have live 450 videos there....and the combination of guitar, hat and shirt seem to be unique to each song! Thanks for the compliment.....and thanks to Charles Trenet (who wrote it and does a FANTASTIC job singing this song). and Bobby Darin, an amazing talent, who provided the guideline for my arrangement.

Larsongs Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Bobby D was my idol when I was a kid.. After hearing Dream Lover, Splish Splash, Mack The Knife & Beyond The Sea I wrote him a letter when I was about 10.. I asked him how I could become a Singer.. He wrote me back saying, take Lessons & Sing.. Work hard & don’t give up… The rest of the letter was very cordial.. He seemed like a really great Guy.. Before my Mom passed away she gave me some of her treasured momentos… His letter was included… I had completely forgotten about that letter.. I still have it.. “Beyond The Sea” is a masterpiece! Jazz Pop Swing whatever, it’s a Song that never ages.. Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hall Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Very nice! Tell me Dream Lover is next. ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should scan the letter and post it on here....I'd love to see it. 4 hours ago, Hall said: Very nice! Tell me Dream Lover is next. ☺️ Dream Lover is one I did almost 3 years ago. I wouldn't mind having another stab at it using the harmonizer, and fix the ending....but here it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hall Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Bob, that's right you did and I forgot. My bad. But nice to see, hear and to see guitar again! Thank you. Yes, Bobby Darin had it all. Edited July 2, 2022 by Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 Just now, Hall said: Bob, that's right you did and I forgot. My bad. But nice to see, hear and to see guitar again! Thank you. Yes, Bobby Darin had it all. I'm very grateful to Leslie for selling it to me. I hope she's happy that it's used very often now....I've recorded over 100 songs on it!
