Is dementia coming on so soon? I could have sworn there was a lot more to this post. Something about post-graduate studies.

Another time, Dave. I just had a rethink about my appeal for help with old Hawaiian method books for study.
I have just suffered bereavement and am not thinking straight right now. Sorry.

Looks like fun. Do you have a recording of it?

Christiaan van der Vyver · Post by **Christiaan van der Vyver** » 1 Aug 2011 8:37 pm

(Buddy Emmons looking much like Bud Isaacs)

That's right, Christiaan. 'Slidin' is reissued on a number of titles. It is a lot of fun and not that difficult.

Released in 1929, it seems a very important track to me. It is a creation of an American jazz multi instrumentalist and is a demonstration of one of his many doubles. It stands opposed to the work of Hawaiians, Sol, Sam, MJ Moke et al recorded around the same time and yet is very much in step with it.

I like this tune. I played it at a steel workshop I gave at Woody Mann's studio about 6 years ago. Andy Sannella was an interesting case. He was a multi-instrumentalist/bandleader who also recorded a few Hawaiian guitar sides--I have a bunch of transcriptions on disc somewhere.

"...joue de douze instruments."

I can only count eight in the picture.

more transcriptions of old stuff like that would be great!, i play weissenborn and its nice to be able to play something solo, without another guitarist/uke player having to be around! - wish i could play both jim and bob's parts though!

Christiaan, this is a solo arrangement of David Gates "If" that should sound good on the Weissenborn for high G or A (or Ab if you are Sam Ku West)
