he plays incorrectly by repeating the first eight bars twice, middle eight and the first eight again, ignoring the different notes on the end of the second and last eight. ... he finds it easier to play in (D, E, F#. Fill in appropriate one )

Gulp ! I'd better stop playing Harbour Lights on the E9 neck (tuned down to D#9) in F#, as I usually do. I never read the music, just remember it from the records....

Thanks for the advanced warning. If you ask me to play Harbour Lights I'll remember to play it in D# on the C6 neck.....

...and I'll keep my hat on to cut down the reflection.

We'll run through all of those "Shopwstopper" numbers ?
When you come over.
We may even record a duet just for the 'Forum' and posterity !!

BTW I think Jimmy Kennedy envisaged his tune to be more like Portstewart than Hawaii

Wait until you've heard the recording before you think of posting it on the Forum. You've got a reputation to maintain: I haven't !

Basil: It must be 2:10 in the morning where you are. Does your mommy let you stay up that late ?

Alan, we owe it to 'THEM" to give them a yardstick and level to aspire to.

BTW What do you think of my 'Hyper links' on Jimmy Kennedy and Portstewart ?
Informative if nothing else. Until John Lennon and Paul McCartney, he had more hits in the United States than any other British songwriter.

I didn't notice the hyperlinks until you mentioned them. Very interesting. I'd only barely heard of Jimmy Kennedy until I read that article.

....and I thought Red Sails in the Sunset was an Hawaiian song !?!
