Description
I was honored to play this beautiful chord solo ballad by the light and phenomenally great Tony Sgro of the Harmonica Rascals and the harmonica gang.
he originally recorded this song in 1950 for RCA under the name leathernecks in the key of C, which is how I play it here. In 1957, he re-recorded it in the key of D for Johnny puleo's harmonica gang volume 1, which was the first record to be released in stereo in March of 1957.
Pete Hogie, a jazz chromatic player, takes our lead here. as a side note, prior to us literally playing this, he had never heard this arrangement before, and improved the entirety of the song and did a phenomenal job. Bill Morris is on bass, and yours truly on chord.
