Here's a fabulous tune arranged for Banjo by Bill Keith way back in the 70s. Bill showed me this at a lesson and I quickly wrote it down and years later into Tabledit. Bill told me lots of Duke Ellington tales when He talked with him. So here it is...Jack Baker    p.s. Figuring out all the necessary chords for banjo was very difficult as I didn't want anything (notes) to clash into the guitar chords which I kept simple but effective...

Mood Indigo

Jack, your tab is wonderful, and Bill's arrangement is outstanding. The reach for the left hand on some of the chords is daunting -- Bill must have had fingers like bananas. Michael

Hi Michael,

Thanks. Bill did not have very large hands but he had extraordinary control and flexibility--using his fingers to go where he wanted....jack   p.s. your youtube offerings are wonderful...

Thanks for the kind comment, Jack. I hope to post some more videos in the near future, after I take care of some other stuff. Michael
