It is an instrumental piece written by Bobby Darin and performed by him on the harpsichord. It was released as the B-side of the 45 rpm single for the theme song to the movie "Come September", also written by Bobby. I recorded this from my copy of the 45. To my knowledge this piece has never been released on CD.
Oh, no, harpischords are still being made and are still readily available. My church has one that we bought a few years ago. This was never released on an album. It is on the B-side of the 45 RPM single for the theme to the movie "Come September", a Latin-flavored instrumental piece that Bobby also wrote.
With the harpsichord I believe that I'm up to eight on the count of musical instruments that Bobby could play. Depending on who's counting, it's anywhere from five to eight. I think the eight are piano, guitar, drums, vibraphones, harmonica, clarinet, bass and harpsichord.
clarinet?? so awesome! I wish he coulda played trumpet. lol i mean i'm sure he could have, i guess i meant done so. he could've done anything on any instrument lol
I didn't know about the clarinet until recently. I was reading David Evanier's biography "Roman Candle", and he says that Bobby played the clarinet in a school band.
Thanks for the addition to the list. I did know about the bongos. He played them very early in his career for a Spanish dancer with whom he had an ill-fated love affair. This points out why there are varying counts of the number of instruments that he played. Some people might be inclined to see the bongos as just a type of drum and count the two as one instrument.
I hadn't hear this in years :) thanks for the post....Lady L.

Maybe the trumpet thing came from the movie
Beyond the Sea and everything is that movie was not based on actual facts.

I thought Bobby played trumpet also, I may be wrong but I thought I read someplace that Charlie bought him a trumpet when he was still pretty young.

Wow! Bobby's talent was infinite. I'm blown away by this composition. I'll bet he arranged it too. What a find. Thank you.

Where in the world did he get a harpsichord? I thought they stopped making them in the 19th century? Was this released on an album?

Just one more musical instrument Bobby could play adding to the talent of this amazing man.
Not to mention his own composition, what a man, there seems to be nothing he could not do. wonderful thanks for posting.
