I present four distinct treatments of this tune which hopefully hang together as some kind of cohesive whole in the end. The great Travis Wright finishes it off on clawhammer banjo.

This tune came to me in a dream. The KIDD is playing bass, drums and mixing board here.

I wrote this late one night when I couldn't sleep. That's why it sounds like a late night thing, when the banshees are roaming around! ;>) Pentatonic CEFGBb

A tune associated with the pioneers of bebop, Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Written over the changes to the 20's pop song 'Whispering'.

This is an old "Fats" Waller song that I found on Bela's first CD. Uke, banjo, guitar and rhythm track.

My interpretation of this jazz standard. I had to pick up the tempo a bit to make it work 'cos my horn has 5 strings!
