Re: LULLABY OF BROADWAY
Russell you amaze me. Never in my life did I think I'd hear "lullaby on broadway" on guitar! There are a lot of songs that I LOVE that are "piano" songs but I've found chords for them and try to play them on my guitar... it's different for sure, but it works! Isn't music such an amazing canvas to work with?!!!!! Good job Russell! Thank you!

Re: LULLABY OF BROADWAY
I had a similar thought kind of swing jazz of the early forties in a cramped ballroom with people dancing with numbers on there back for hours to win a prize thanks for listening

Re: LULLABY OF BROADWAY
MKM I always thought it was "of" Broadway "oh well on is OK to I never saw the sheet music for it just remembered the melody and I have been kicking around a unusual treatment of "Over The Rainbow" on Electric guitar with effects I am still working it out but early results sound cool thank you for your comments

Well done

Re: LULLABY OF BROADWAY
Ark the music seems at times to have a mind of its own once the melody line has been played,I just seem to think it as it happens hard to explain thanks for your comments

Looked it up... it is "OF" not "ON" ... my bad, you were right! Can't wait to hear "Over the Rainbow"! A fav for sure!
