Here is my latest recording of the work of Eddie Alkire. On A South Sea Isle, 1936. Arranged for the Eharp and performed on an Epiphone Eharp by Bill McCloskey.
it is kind of long, about 8 minutes, but keeps changing all the time: it has an A-B-A-C-A-B-A structure which is played through 3 times with a different melody each time. 9 unique melody lines.
Hope you enjoy it.

thanks Doug. I only hear the mistakes but I think I'm getting better. Fun part is figuring out how to play it. None of the slides are in the sheet music, I just have to figure out what sounds good.
Each one is a learning tool. |

Doug, health is good . Cancer treatment is going to be much less intense than originally thought and i get my second pfizer shot today.
Btw, for those interested, there are no slants in this piece. Everything is played in straight bar position. |

Beautiful work. The Eharp sounds just lovely, and it's an interesting tune.
I'm very sorry to hear about your health problems, but glad it's not as bad as you expected. |
