Have been a fan over the years of the Dukes of Dixieland's version with real chimes, but really like this amazing arrangement and this wonderful group.
I was thrilled, amazed, and surprised when I first saw your Climax band do the chimes thing without piano at an intimate bar gig during Sacto fest in the 80s. I saw you guys do it a few more times after that. Now, this video lets me see it again. In between then and now, I have not seen another band do this. For anyone familiar with Chimes Blues, this is really special. Many thanks - for this vid and for all the joy your band brought back then.
When I was much younger and lived in a semi, my neighbour acquired a Westminster chiming clock which used to wake me at all hours of the night. As he would not listen to reason, I began playing this very loudly, each time he woke me up.
Thank you so much. This has given me much pleasure. I think it's wonderful

hi tb261,
Did you hear the 1954 version by the same outfit? Ithink it's the best by far.

I still have this on a '78'.

He got the message! Thanks for the memories.
