Hey Roy.... How do you think the song Girl from Inpanema (spelling???) play out on the Leavitt tuning NP????LEE

Ipanema (ee-pah-neh-mah)

Interesting, never heard that one on steel, but if anyone could pull it off and really make it sound great it would be Roy.

Lee, it may sound like this. http://freefilehosting.net/?id=q933lqTb

I like it, I like it.

Incredible ..Roy! ..smilin' at your talent and expertise..again! I first heard this song in a Seattle club (Jazz Alley) performed live by none other... than Stan Getz/Astrud & João Gilberto in 1964. It was enchanting then, and still is today! Thanks for sharing it (and your considerable talent) with us Roy. It's a keeper! dan

That is fantastic!
Is that the arrangement found in Mike Ihde's book "A Different Slant"?

That file I recorded about three years ago
using the Alkire (EHarp) tuning on a 10 string acoustic steel of mine.
Lee's question was " How would the Girl....
sound on Leavitt? "
I have never tried it on the Leavitt Tuning
but it would probably sound comparible if I
did?
Thanks for the interest and comments.

BY GOLLY... that was great Roy. If you ever do it on th Leavitt, I'd be interested in purchasing a tab. Thanks for sparking my interest in the Leavitt tuning. LEE

Hi Lee,

Like Maurice said, Ipanema is on my CD "A Different Slant" available from the forum here... http://pedalsteelmusic.com/music/mikeihde.html

I'm going to do it also on my Leavitt Lap.
Someday soon.
