Doctor Jazz

My buddy Geoff called on me yesterday and handed me a data stick, said: "Doctor Jazz mp3. Five choruses of tuba. Key of C. Have fun", and sauntered off.

So I added some vocals, tenor uke and guitar. And had fun. I've been playing this song (written by Joe "King" Oliver) for 40 years and more (though not with ukulele!) and I still love it. Watch out for my tribute to Ben Turpin, star of the black & white, silent movies in verse 3... Just a bit of fun and froth...

Chords:

Hi Will, I bet you also love the music played on a banjo. I my youth I was a fan of George Formby. An English guy with big teeth, funny face, silly songs with great banjo play.

I love this postive song very much.

Hi Rob - I met George Formby when I was a young lad. My aunt worked in a dress shop in Bolton, where Formby's wife, Beryl, used to buy her clothes... :-)

[jessyquedens]

Your playing is great and you're obviously having fun. Only thing is the tuba doesn't go especially well with it.
