Default Dream a Little Dream of Me

This song was a lot of fun to work through and to play. I had in mind Ella Fitzgerald's versions as well as the French version (Les Yeux Ouverts), not as much the Mamas and the Papas.

The guitar is my Kopp K-35. Thanks for any feedback - I hope you enjoy this!

That was GREAT! I love all the little smiles along the way... looks like you're having fun. Can't shoot any higher than thinking about Ella Fitzgerald, can you?

Beautifully done, excellent recording with superb dynamics. I really like the variety... you must never get bored when you work out an arrangement.

That was wonderful...

Dang Larry!

That was awesome! Very well done! That Kopp guitar sounds wonderful with you playing it and your rendition of that great old song was spot on! And I echo Kerbie's words! I really enjoyed your smiles in there!

What fun!

- Glenn

Very well done, Larry. That Koop just shimmers. Of course, I know it is largely the player making it shimmer. Thanks for the treat.
Great arrangement of a great old song.

Thanks Kerbie! I know that you're also an Ella fan. She was one of a kind. This song is so melodic, just a great melody, and yes, a lot of fun to play! Thanks as always for your comments and support

Thanks so much, Glenn! This Kopp is a special guitar - it really is everything that I hoped for: super responsive, clear and open. Thanks for all of your encouragement and support

Talking

Larry,
Great version of a great tune (Ella and Mama Cass!).

BTW, don't you know that you're not allowed to play fingerstyle on a drednaught? In the future, please buy an appropriately sized OM/000/00 for these endeavors, we certainly don't want to have to ban you.

Darnit, I didn't get the memo! Guess I'll have to go shopping now...

Thanks Jimmy
