I love the medley... I bet that's how he came up with this song, just messing around with familiar lyrics that fit into a four or five chord patterns

[lacadam]

do you have any idea what the chords are?

[lacadam]

what other songs is he playing? I mean from what does the first part come from?

[oggendoggen2]

I Dream of Jeanie - Somewhere from West Side Story - (dont know) - variation of Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen - On A Bicycle Built for Two - I Want a Girl Just Like the Girl that Married Dear Old Dad - (dont know) - Tuxedo Junction (reference to a Glenn Miller song) - Primrose Lane

@lacadam, I've heard a few versions of Jitterbug Boy and this seems to be more or less his lead in for it. It doesn't vary much more than this. The actual verses dont begin until around the 2:30 mark, but before then is just an intro of sorts. No real song at all, unless I'm way mistaken.

Chelsea will you marry me? I've fallen in love with you. Listening to all of these songs has me in tears.
