One great big BRAVO to you. You took a tune written (or at least as I know, last copyrighted in 1915 and made it sound just as good as any professional can. As a tribute to Milt, I am impressed. I personally would have loved a slight hint more of vibrato from the resonator fans but, you did a great job of imitating Milt's ability to play through the bar lines. I really like your rendition. I wish more of the membership would acknowledge your endeavor.

Thanks Vibeman , I have a soft spot for this tune as it was on one of my first Jazz lp's
when I was a teenager , I think it was Milt live in Montreux with Oscar Peterson & Joe Pass ,
the composition was also an hommage to Puccini "Madame Butterfly" , which I happen to like very much as well.
As for the vibrato , the motor on my Musser was very touchy that day and I'm lucky it worked at all
on this take , since it quit on me in the middle of some other tunes...
thanks for your input.

Boy you cats don't age a bit. The Bocle brothers look just like they did in the 80's at Berklee. JB you sound great, great ideas, nice to hear you back on vibes. Looking forward to the CD.
