Dale, that was swinging hard and I loved it. You have a knack for putting the right spin on a old tune. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep up the great work.

Thank you Sir. Hope your family is well and enjoying this Christmas season. My wife saw 2 snowflakes on her weather app this morning so she's getting excited.

Thank you Jim ... I did this arrangement with BIAB, so still learning the program and my lack of musical knowledge makes is a bit of a challenge, but I'm learning.

Thanks so much my friend. I'm trying to embrace the swingy stuff. BIAB allows me to do some things I wasn't able to do in iReal Pro, like add horns and strings. I need to learn how to rethink those things, cause now I could very well be putting too much of that into the tracks. Think I've done the last 3 songs with BIAB, so still learning ... I'll ALWAYS be learning ;-)

That is so very dang happy! Makes me wanna pour myself a glass of champagne! Where’s Dean Martin?

Seriously, great chord voicing and swinging of the melody. Enjoyed the little improv bit too. I liked the busy BIAB tracks - it gave the tune kind of a Dixieland feel. Well done, Dale. I also appreciate the videography. All those angles with just your hands and the steel against the black background, it's really a pleasure to watch. Thanks for the early Merry Christmas!

:lol: Ya made my day Fred. Thanks so much for your kind words. I guess that Black background has kind of become a signature. Probably an attempt on my part to help others focus (I might be projecting that) on the important stuff and not a broom leaning up against an amp. (that actually never happens)
