I love it! Especially the Beatle-y touches in your arrangement like the double-tracking sneaking in and out and the repeated high fifths on the offbeats. You've done a great job of capturing the essence of the tune while re-imagining it at the same time. My DNA was humming along!  |

Thanks, guys. Glad you like the arrangement. Some of the Beatles songs play themselves, lovely melodies.

I never would have thought of that one as being a steel guitar tune, but now I know better! The way you played it suits the melody perfectly. |

Thanks, Bob. I'm enjoying your website. Nice to see a transcription of one of Lester Young's great solos.
Chris, I'm a Denver guy, but I always enjoy getting to visit sunny Phoenix for the SWSGA's show. Sorry to miss you.
