Always a treat for the ears. Being a coot of 50 , I'm happy to hear you stop by to offer another handful of musical seed for us all to peck at. Not a hint of worm in this version. There are some great harmonics that ring out to the last measures. Your playing deserves your guitar -- really, any guitar a winning lottery ticket will buy.

Even better Even better... than the first time around, and THAT take was a good one. This is a wonderful song to showcase your amazing talents with the fretboard, Mark. You have such smooth skill with the guitar. Enjoyed this as much, if not more, than your original version. Jazz chords are so cool and you pull them off without a hitch. Nice.

More recognizable This version has the tune less hidden behind the jazz chords, a more standard approach to the standard. Both approaches are legit. But.... Man, you know a lot of chords! That passage around 0:50 is just great. Do you have all of Micky Baker's books? Very nice. Check out my latest song called Frippery

| Ibstrat said 3577 days ago (December 31st, 2009) | |

I do have 2 of them somewhere... I mostly make up my own chords by just playing around with inversions etc.That passage at 0:50 is the chord Ab,D,G,Bb then moving the bottom 3 voices down chromatically while playing the melody on top. Maybe not theoretically correct but sounds good to me! Check out my latest song called What the

Dear Mr. Stunkel.... When we refer to a 'blackbird', we are meaning more than the color of the avian plumage, but rather to a specific species... Just any black plumaged bird will not do... We are also not inclined to find references to aging, or to coots, funny.... Upon the other hand, we are prepared to forgive you solely because this is even better than the first version.... Great tone and fluidity, Mark... Great chime.... Really does sound like you're playing some huge jazzbox... This song was altered irreparably for me, firs,t by hearing Joe Cocker sing it, and secondly by the way it was used in the movie (and I think the book) of 'Billy Bathgate'... I suspect that you have used jazz chords, which may or may not have included numbers, herein, but I am choosing to overlook this fact....

You are correct- these are not blackbirds, however I couldn't think of any puns using blackbirds and coots are funnier looking.I need to check out Billy Bathgate. Check out my latest song called What the
