One of my favorite 50s pop songs ... especially when driving beautiful Rte. 28 between Chatham and Orleans or ambling down 6A on the Cape. Really nice performance, Doug but you need to over dub yourself in unison like Patti Page for the full effect! Those old E-Harps sound pretty good. |

Great music, Doug. I really like hearing your steel on this classic song.

Hey Doug, you've got Old Cape Cod stuck in my head this week! Here are two other nice performances I found on YouTube ....
Kees Nipius on archtop guitar:

John Davis on pedal steel:

I worked out the head in 6-string C6th by ear in about 1 min with three and four-note chords. It's a fairly diatonic tune. Anyway, thanks for all the sharing you do on the forum, Doug. |

Nice Doug! I picture hula dancers in grass skirts, coconut trees swaying in the Atlantic Ocean breeze and the surf rolling in...on Nauset Beach! |

Wow..I haven't been there in years - that's a real eye opener. Did that all happen in one storm or have the dunes been gradually eroding over time so there wasn't much protection when a big storm hit? |

A lot of that happened in four storms we had this winter. It was an easy winter as far as snow, but wind knocked out power several times. Erosion is always going on. My family owned a camp 6 miles to the south and we had to tear it down some time ago before the beach was washed out from under it. This whole area is under water now:

What a shame...amazing the power of Mother Nature. I was in the Coast Guard during the "Storm of the Century" in 1993. Those were the biggest seas off Cape Cod I've ever seen. |

You must have a strong stomach Jeff. Anything over 4-6 feet and I'm seasick. I don't know how the fishermen can stand it. |

Cape Cod is one of those tunes that, if you're old enough, is thoroughly nostalgic and Doug's rendition on steel is perfect. The Cape sure got pounded this winter but you can still find those "quaint little villages with an ocean view."In fact, I can definitely see myself at the Brewster Fish House this summer!
And ... Patty Page doesn't get enough credit for pioneering that perfect vocal double tracking in the 1950s that you hear nowadays on every female vocal in Country Music. Case in point: Kacy Musgrove.
It's really hard to do on steel. I was amazed at how well Auldridge, Douglas and Ickes played three steels together in such perfect tune on their Three Bells CD. _________________ Steel Guitar Books! Website: www.volkmediabooks.com |

Tempo seems dead on to my ear, Doug. If it lacks anything, I'd love to hear it with a real double bass and a skilled drummer playing brushes. Sadly, BIAB doesn't come with any human musicians. _________________ Steel Guitar Books! Website: www.volkmediabooks.com |

I know what you mean, Andy. This was one of my first videos, and the backing track is BIAB only, played through an amp, room sound, recorded on a little iPod Nano. In recent years my recording setup has improved quite a bit. Still BIAB bass and drums, but live guitars and uke, and the tracks are recorded direct to computer. Not recorded by an iPhone or some other device. Like everyone else, I'm constantly trying to improve my playing and recording. _________________ My Site / My YouTube Channel
