summertime - cover

I guess most of you are feeling the cold now. Getting hot down here...30C or 85F...off for a surf on Saturday.

Here's an old one from Big George Gershwin.

I'm allowed to wear a Jazzhat as I played a Bm7b5....x2323x....lovely moveable shape for those not into jazz chords at all.

Hope it warms your cockles!

BBG...got to thank you and Del for putting me onto Jackson C Franks...have downloaded some album with about 25 songs on it...really enjoying it!

Going to investigate deeper into Bertie Jansche too...what's a good 'un...more contemporary less Olde English around a maypole stuff?

i think thats about all the fella released , real sad story , worth googling his story , just to cheer yourself up :)

 

bert jansch ... 'fresh as a sweet sunday morning' is my favourite so far , double live album

 

when the circus comes to town is a belter

black swan too

 

i'll guarantee you'll like all those three

 

enjoy , after that just read the reviews to get a clue as to what u should buy ... some real jazzy stuff , some maypole , stuff with davy graham for ridiculously good instrumental work - just called 'bert and davy' i think

Another classy performance there FB, My Mrs does a very fine rendition of this track, I just need to learn how to play the little bugger. All those jazz chords normally get my knickers in a knot.

I'll eat my..........

 

Don't go eatin' to try to please me, you've never gone that far before....

 

a glaswegian slash ?

thats a pish isnt it ? i would avoid the top hat :-s

 

Yes the top hat was a Slash joke, I'll say nothing about the Brian May hairdo and J-45 strapped at knee height... However I may have just the thing....

 

I give you the indoor hat and indoor beard combo...

Thanks 57 Classic...if anyone can spot a classic it should be you!

 

PM,I think you can thank your venerable wee mammy for your good taste in music.

 

EA I can imagine Mrs EA does a bottler version of this....I learnt this ages ago...but I just checked and the lession is still online...google Fred Sokolow teaches Summertime....a couple of easy jazz chords in the mix...but all you guys could play it in a couple of hours tops.That would be a crowd pleaser..Mrs EA singing and you playing.

 

Del is that photo your entry in the annual Charlie Manson look alike contest? If you don't win you should be a highly commended runner up!I think you need a brand new leopard skin pill box hat.

 

BBG, thanks for taking the pish as always... [smile]

 

My hat was actually a wide brim Akubra..an Australian cowboy hat....but it was too small for my fat head, would blow off in the slightest breeze...so I trimmed the brim to make it an indoor "is that man a musician?" hat.

 

edit....sorry I just realised it was PM doing the Charlie Manson..haha

Well spotted, it was my best Charlie Manson eyes..... The old dear loves this song, she used to play in a jazzy setup in the 60's in London, even made some records but nothing big-time. I really ought to learn it for sentimental value....

Nice version, FB. A bit James Bond/John Barry in parts. Or Julie London. You Only Cry Me a River Twice?

Not exactly sure which particular one.. I visited Budapest maybe 8 years ago..and it was then known as one of the best flea markets in Europe I think it maybe the City Park Flea Market.. Sunday

 

There is also a nifty hat shop up in the Old \Castle quater...or used to be ....in fact Hungary is swarming with hats.. don't you live there Mojo ? or there abouts

Thanks Red, Mojo and Rod.

Mojo you must have been perusing my back catalogue to see I purloined a riff or two from Cry me a river. And apparently the James Bond theme sampled from Gershwin not the other way round.

Rod..I have the south in me...in fact in Sydney i'm about 10,000 miles further south than you! Just a few Melbourenites and penguins further.

Hey flatb, TOTALLY off-topic, but since you live on the bottom side of the world......I have always heard that the toilets flush in a reverse swirl down there. Please get me straight....truth or fiction....??.[scared]

Nah, Rod. Theirs go the right way: it's ours up here that are reversed.

 

(In fact, there's a whole discussion on this very topic in the wikipedia entry on the Coriolis effect. I'm not going to tell you what the answer is.)
