Don, Thanks! Coming from a person who knows this genre of music and plays it well, your comment means a lot to me.

JOhn, Thanks for your interest. There's a lot of good tunes from the 1920s. I found the chords by googling "chords and lyrics for Blue Skies." I've known the song for years, but couldn't figure out the chords, but Key of G, but mostly in Em, with Em7, A7, B, etc. Em7 is an awful sounding chord out of context for it has an E and an E flat in it. It's just a transitional chord in the song, and in playing the melody I just hit the Eflat note, rather than doing the whole chord I'll see if I can attach an Sword file to a personal email to you.

Ran across this while listening to the jukebox, fell in love with it right away. Pretty little tune

Jack, Thanks! I might post a new video of this shortly--with a local bluesman singing while I do the banjo part. Blue Skies makes a neat, but easy banjo tune.
