Bye Bye, Blackbird

I’ll be posting a few (usually fairly short) tunes up as we go. Some solo multitrack homebrew this and that. Some long-distance musica-collabarativo. And the occasional piano/vocal jazz standard from 1926.
Here’s the first tune out the gate, a piano/vocal jazz standard from 1926: Bye bye, blackbird,” written by the great Henderson and Dixon.
playtime:1 minute or so
file specs: roughly 1MB mp3
how to:right-click on the song name and choose “Save Target as…” to download the file. Or just click on the link and wait a minute or so for your player to come up. If it’s jumpy, give it a sec, rewind, and play again — that’s just the file loading in.
Thanks for listening…

    Nice! I wonder if you would consider doing a bird-theme for a while. Maybe next up: The Bird On Nellie’s Hat, a comic gem from 1907. Check out http://www.tinfoil.com/cm-0401.htm
