Lazy day today. Here's a bluesy, bump and grinder.
This one fell together quickly. It only took a few hours from start to finish.
It was written by Doc Daugherty, Al J. Neiberg, and Ellis Reynolds and published in 1930.
The most important recorded versions in the United States were done by Guy Lombardo (1930), Rudy Vallee (1930), Perry Como (1945) and Les Paul and Mary Ford (1952). The song was a big hit for Frank Ifield in the United Kingdom. Django Reinhardt and Stephanne Grappelli also had a big hit with this one as well.
I played my 1947 Bakelite Rickenbacker Lap Steel in C6 tuning plugged directly into the computer - no amplifier, my Talsma Tenor uke and my Heritage Johnny Smith guitar. The uke and guitar are mic'ed. Band In A Box provided the bass line.
I'm Confessin'

That was really nice. I liked the steel straight in a little better than the others. It seemed to have that natural RIC sound.
The back up rhythm is just perfect. Two thumbs up! |
