"Summertime!" from Porgy, and Bess. Bishop R.P. Ha

Post by Bishop Ronnie P Hall »

From the broadway production, and musical "Porgy, and Bess", now in public domain. A lilting, haunting melody to calm the soul. My rendition! Enjoy!

Hi Al,
I just wanted to say "Thanks", for your commentary. Coming from one of the "statesman" of the steel guitar genre such as yourself, I find it an honor to receive it. I just keep trying to do the best that I can. Again, "Thanks".
