a variation of progression no.30 from

- my personal challenge for this fawm.
feel free to tag along ;)
Day after day
Night after night
placing my bets
rolling the dice -
a million would be nice
Night after night
game after game
dealing the cards
testing my chance -
chaos loves a dance
You can't see it
from my poker face
if I hold a royal flush
or just an ace of spades
coz all you see if
my hand allows, are my
caterpillar eyebrows
Club after club
Heart after heart
poorer by the minute
broke from the start -
a crook without the smarts
room after room
house after house
picking the locks
taking a hint -
leaving fingerprints
You can't see it
from my poker face
if I hold a steady job
or wallow in disgrace
coz all you see if
my hand allows, are my
caterpillar eyebrows
Day after day
alone on the hill
the man with a foolish grin
is keeping perfectly still...

Du jazz sur quatre accords ! C'est donc permis ?
J'adore le chromatisme tout a début de la mélodie. On est tout de suite emporté dans un bar de pigale entre Reinhardt et Grapelli.

some super cool guitaristering here. I'm grooving, Super. Slick. Tasty.
Thanks for your kind words and feedback earlier. Much appreciated.

That is some delicious guitar playing. I'm gonna steal it, sell it and be a millionaire. Thanks!
@kendrakinsey Feb 2022
The title is absolutely the best. This is groovy-- I'm just dancing along w it
@hamiltonpoolhall Feb 2022
Ha! Yes, in from the first notes; this is totally appealing and a great use of the progression challenge. These lyrics are totally worthy of being sung, of course! But great to hear you stretching out on guitar(s) like this.

Love it :)) I played a lot of Django music an age ago - though on flute unorthodoxically.
Such a swinging happy tune, plus mysterious lyrics on guitar!
@mattoxic Feb 2022
i really want to hear lots of Dan Hicks right now
This is great, really enjoyable
This is cool

Omg this made me smile the whole freaking time! Sounds exactly like caterpillar eyebrows! So much fun, gotta have another listen... Ahh yes, imagining in the lyrics. You gonna sing 'em? I wud love to try if you're receptive...
@deena Feb 2022
Love the title even before listening... loving the twang...grooving guitars! Charming!
@adforperu Feb 2022
Love the way that solo guitar dances around that progression with those little triplet flourishes.
@mikedebenham Feb 2022
Delightful. I could listen to this stuff for days. And your singing voice has transcended to the point where my unworthy ears can't even hear it. I am in awe.
@silvermachine Feb 2022
Irresistible gypsy jazz. Such a joyful noise when you come across it.
And such great lyrics present a slight problem. Using them would mean losing most of the delightful guitar soloing?
@markg Feb 2022
Swinging guitar. Good lyrics too. I sang them myself
@lowhum Feb 2022
Take it on, Django! Guess the singer was pissed and passed out?
@thefourthkings Feb 2022
Dope guitar work!
@metalfoot Feb 2022
Lovely style and swing to the feel :)
