A slightly different twist on an old favourite.
Well done Chuck! OJC was the first tune I ever learned (from TAB) so I always had a soft spot for it. And it can be played in so many ways - as you demonstrate.

I think you and I both first tackled it from Sonny Osborne's book, if I remember one of your past posts correctly. btw, I put this version on Facebook a few yrs ago and to my surprise & delight Alan Munde gave it a "like"... whoop, whoop!
Very nice arrangement, Chuck! Sonny Osborne played a somewhat similar although not identical break on an obscure recording, and I have posted my tab of his break, with part of the more common Keith/Weissberg break included for comparison. Cheers, Michael
Incidentally, I have not seen Sonny's book, which you reference above. Is the break on the Wade Ray album similar to the break in his book?

That's right. A terrible book but that's all we had back then, the Scruggs book hadn't come out yet. I picked one up recently on eBay out of nostalgia.
The Mel Bay, Sonny Osborne instruction book was also one of the first I acquired. I dug out my old copy of the book and entered the "sketchy" book tab into Tabledit. Here's what I came up with.
