This is my take on TINY BUBBLES. played on the Gibson Console Grande T-8 - A6 tuning.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSQvUj6r6cU

It's based on Herb Remington's excellent tab in FUN TAB 2

Here is the backup track I put together for it, with acoustic guitar, 2 electric guitars, ukulele and bass.

Boy, that brings back memories. Those tiny bubbles can get you in trouble. Especially when Bubbles husband finds out...


Great Job Rick. Tuff Fun Tab is one of the best "new" books out there for new players.

Keep em' coming and kiss Bubbles for me.

Thanks G-man!
Bubbles says hi . .


Thank you Mr Boards - his sister 50cent is happy too!
So you're proposing a bubble-thon, or would that be a bubblerama?
Well, why not - the backup track is there for anyone who wants to play it in the key of F.


Sonny, the little red guitar may be the new kid but it's definitely a member of the family.
Thank you for the kind words my friend.

...Rick, how 'bout putting up a selection of examples of it using a variety of amps?
I've long been interested in Sonny's creations, and I'll bet she sounds nice enuf to get plenty other interesed parties willing to shell out some dinero to finance Sonny's new summer home here in the islands.

Ricky,

Nice singing and playing. I don't hear that tune much anymore. My guitar teacher years ago made 60 bucks because some guy in the audience was dating a woman and that was her favorite song. He slipped my former teacher $20.00 three times to play it for his girlfriend.
