I was hoping it wouldn't happen, but it did.

Winter is rapidly approaching in SE Lower Michigan.

Yesterday was cold, wet and cloudy. Today is cold, wet and cloudy.
Tommorow, more of the same but with scattered snow showers.

I retreated to my "man cave" and recorded this number. This tune has become a favorite
and has been making the rounds of the gigs and jam sessions in the Ann Arbor area lately.

The Benny Goodman/Charlie Christian hit 'A Smooth One'.



A Smooth One

Instrumentation: My Talsma Tenor Uke, a 1954 Fender Champion lap steel guitar, a 2007 Taylor 714ce
acoustic guitar and Band In A Box Bass.

Nicely done, Gerald. It's the stuff the steel does in the background that is most difficult to get done tastefully and in a balanced way. You succeeded here.
