Time for some more Old-Time! I really enjoy Dirk Powell's playing and so I learned his version of this tune. I don't know if I'll ever break the habit of feeling the beat in an Irishy ahead-of-the-beat way instead of an Old-Time behind-the-beat way. But that's fine.
This tune is crooked, because the B part has a couple extra beats. I love crooked tunes. You're brain naturally guesses what's going to happen when you listen to music, and with a straight tune, it can predict pretty well. With a crooked tune your brain is outsmarted. I like that feeling.
So today I have these things to look forward to: Pizza from Lombardi's, and mini-cupcakes from Melissa's in SOHO. Awww yeah. I love New York City.
Here's the tune!
