Erv

Here are some suggestions to tab out.

Isle Hopes Isle of Tears, Stormy Monday, My Way

With respect to Stormy Monday or for that matter any slow blues standard, I am curious as to how it would sound in the chord melody style. I notice on another tune, the flatted 3rd was accomplished by using the knee lever on the 8th string and letting the flated 3rd hang on the 5th string.


Although I have never heard anyone play Isle Hopes Isle of Tears on the steel, it is a natural steel guitar song. I am betting it would sound great in the chord melody style.

My latest Old Standard is "Blueberry Hill".
It was written in 1940 but really became popular with the 1956 recording by Fats Domino.

I've got a couple more Old Standards for you:
The 1st is "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter". This song dates back to 1935.
The 2nd is "Too Young". This song is from 1951 and Nat King Cole had the first major recording.

Two more Old Standards:
"Cry" was written in 1951 and was the signature song for Johnnie Ray.

"It's Just A Matter Of Time" is from 1958 and was co-written and recorded by Brook Benton.
Later on, Randy Travis did a good job on it also.

My latest Old Standard was written by the Spanish composer N. Serradell in 1862: "La Golondrina"
translated "The Swallow".
This song was first recorded in 1900 and has benn recorded numerous times since, even by Bob Wills.

This song was co-written by Al Jolson in 1946.

Hey Erv, do you have "Mississippi Mud" by Harry Barris & James Cavanaugh, as popularized by the Paul Whiteman Orchestra circa 1928? Or "Theme To Route 66" by Nelson Riddle, circa 1961?

My latest Old Standard goes back to 1939, and although it is usually associated with Glenn Miller, it was written by Andy Razaf and Joe Garland.
I used to play it on a non-pedal steel so went back and referred to my old Oahu arrangement for help.
