Thanks Pete, glad you noticed the ending It's the only bit that I put in. Well actually It's just Bergeyk's last 8 bars repeated at a slower pace. I sort of imagine a brass section coming in at that point for a grand finale.
I guess I first played this around '75 too. I remember it seeming really tricky to play. I re-learned it again in the mid-nineties and played it live a few times. I had to re-learn it again for this post. It gets easier --- maybe another 10 years I'll be able to waltz it with no slips!
I used to play this 30+ years ago. You played it well. Thanks for sharing. BTW...did you know Ton has a new website?

Fantastic job Bazjax. You made a very difficult song sound smooth. Cow Cow & T.V.B. live!

Not quite as smooth as flawless as Bergeyk and he was only 22 when he recorded it! I've had 34 years practice on that piece. lol

Yay! I played this in 1975 when the KM record arrived - but not quite this well...
