I remember trying to learn that one 20 years ago or so. It was one of the most difficult tunes I ever attempted. The finger stretches were just beyond my ability.
Having said the above: it's a beautiful song and I love playing my easier version.
Ha!
I still can't play it Sherry....Jack
Thanks, Jack!
As I recall, in Tony Trischka's "Melodic Banjo" book, Bobby Thompson remembers his first meeting with Bill Keith, who playedthis tune.
Really a landmark number.
Duke Ellington?
Oops My Mistake--..I meant that for Mood Indigo....Jack p.s. thanks for catching that Joel...J

I really could have used this in 1974 Jack. I had to figure it out by ear - it was torture!

Groan! That is a Monster for sure....Jack
