Late night, snowbound in Seattle, thought i'd throw this out for your consideration. I think I tried to post this a long time ago when the file sizes were smaller and it was too big. Anyway, it's a cut from my someday to be released duet CD, this one with Susan Pascal on vibraphone and me on my Guernsey. The song is a beauty from John Coltrane. It's in Eb and i play the melody in G tuning but lowered my low B to Bb and low G to Eb so I could imitate the pedal tones that the bass player plays on Coltrane's recording during Susan's solo.

Just got a copy of this disc I played on with Casey MacGill and His Blue4Trio. Great 30s style harmony vocals with piano, ukelele, cornet, bass, drums, and, on a couple of songs, me playing my Guernsey dobro. I believe we recorded this with an old RCA ribbon mic a little further away from the dobro than I normally would mic it. These guys are great. If you like their style go over to http://www.blue4trio.com/ and check them out.
PS not enabling downloads since its not my tune
