The Guitar Trio of Bucky Pizzarelli, Ed Laub & Walt Bibinger - Jitterbug Waltz

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b7hSSSsV3Q

Amusing story about this... I fell asleep last night with the radio on as usual. I had a dream that I was in a kind of run down part of town, sort of in the middle of nowhere. I ran into a guy I used to work with, Harry Dog. He was a black crane operator(One of the coolest people I've met at work).

He invited me in his house(?), and got me a beer. Somehow, it changed from his house to ATOT's own Ironwing's place. We're sitting around, and his wife hands me a guitar-like thing to play...(Oh, fuck! I must have mentioned I dabbled in guitar at some point, and I'm expected to do something :^O ).

Well, this guitar was kind of weird. Had more strings than usual, and a very short scale. Most amazing of all, it was playing backup(sound comes from where?), and you're supposed to improvise leads over that. Well, things weren't going so well cause of my lack of talent, and I noticed it had a floating bridge, kind of like a Fender vibrato. I pushed down on that to raise the string pitch, and they all went slack. I fucked up the instrument :^( Ironwing's wife was very displeased, and she was tuning up a short scale P bass for me to play when I woke up to this tune playing...

You can kind of hear where my dream was going listening to this, including fucking up the instrument. Luckily I had enough presence of mind to listen to who it was, and I actually remembered it a couple hours later when I woke up again. I had enough keywords to hunt it down "deer head inn jitterbug waltz bucky"

So, that's what I'm listening to now :^D

Btw, Deer Head Inn looks like a cool place. I may have to go on a road trip some time...
