This week I'd like to share a little Jazz tune by Nat King Cole, which I love and which goes nicely with the theme "Emotion" by @sunsethunter.
Emotion
Most people associate the more negative feelings with this theme, heartache, tears, but there are also happy feelings, love, sudden outbursts of joy and the list goes. I certainly am a person who gets excited about stuff quite easily, in a positive way that is!
It was therefore no surprise when a couple of weeks ago I burst out with joy, when I came across a video that explained fairly easily how to play walking bass lines on the piano and generally jazz things up a bit! I started playing and playing and playing, and yes, now I can't stop.. 😄
Some of you may know that I play guitar in our Swing band "Swing 42" and my friend @purplesinger is my inspiration when it comes to piano playing!
The Tune
It's been stuck in my head ever since I first watched the film "Groundhog Day" where it features right at the very end when the credits roll in. "What a day it has been.. ", a great opening line for that final scene.
I have watched this film loads of times, my own little Groundhog Day, and although I'm not a great fan of Bill Murray, do I like the idea of the film as a whole and the fact that he gets to learn the piano in a supposedly short time!
Unlike him did it take me a lockdown and a bit to being able to play basic stuff at least. I am still amazed by it all, bearing in mind, that I'm not a youngster, who supposedly learns much faster..
I would honestly like to say to anybody who would like to do something new, just go for it!!
Picture of my DVD - 😄 DVD - so yesterday
I do hope, you like this one just as much as I love playing it!
Thank you, my friends!
The Lyrics
What a day this has been
What a rare mood I'm in
Why, it's almost like bein' in love
There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why, it's almost like bein' in love
All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peal
I would swear I was fallin'
Swear I was fallin'
Why, it's almost like bein' in love

Pleasant song ma'am
Love the production
It came out well
Well, thank you very much!
I'm very glad you like it!
Splendid stuff, although I must confess when I saw walking basslines, I thought, hot dang, those are hard as heck. Then I saw you playing piano and any thoughts of picking up some guitar tips vanished :OD
😂🤣😂
Ah, yes, didn't think, it could cause confusion! Haha
Thank you, really, really pleased you like it! 😍
