Take Your Pick
The famous banjo-solo by Pete Mandell. When Pekka heard it was going to be the new banjo-solo of the Dutch Swing College Band (originally Arie Ligthart’s showpiece) he immediately constructed...
Moonglow
The famous jazz-standard, now from Pekka’s musical sketchbook.
My Walking Stick
This Irving Berlin classic was made famous by Louis Armstrong and the Mills Brothers, sung here by the beautiful Ellä Koskeminuun and her husband Pekka.
One Note Samba
On the high string ‘ukulele. The slower you play it, the more difficult it gets; better get it over and done with.
Singing The Blues
Jazz classic made famous by Bix, Tram, Lang et al (orig. ODJB), this time on the ‘ukulele (low-string tenor-uke).
Weekend Boogie
A Jerry Reed-inspired guitar boogie on domestic synchronisation.
Hotel Blues
Mixing Jesse James’ “Lonesome Day”, the bass-pattern of Joe Jones’ “You Talk Too Much” and the preference of sleeping in one’s own bed.
Clotted Cream
Having a go at James Booker’s bass pattern of Pixie.
Ecky Thumb Drum
Fooling around with rhythmic thumb-patterns. Next time I will actually tune that guitar! Loosely based on Oscar Aleman’s "Como Te Llamas".
Strummin' An' Strollin'
A study in strumming. The odd lick added.
Fruit Fly Boogie
The fruitfly lives from rotten/fermented fruit. It’s got an emzym that breaks down alcohol. It never gets drunk!
Blind Baking Beans
Blind Blake: vague reference to, but far cry from. Title: culinairy again. Morningcoat & pyjamas: sorry. Who cares that I can't play it without speeding up or plenty of mistakes.
Crawfish Etouffée
Quite a hybrid version of traditional "Fishing Blues". Lots of references to New Orleans Rhythm & Blues.
Sweet Swinging Blues
A bunch of guitarlicks.
