I threw the tune in the key of C and it works pretty easily for melody, bass line, and chords. I just did it the way it worked for me, but it has potential to be really great. I have to leave off the sustain on some notes, and make shifts at time that are, to say the least, less than 'Lenny-Like,' but the tune is great. I loved working out alternate ways to play some chords to get the melody right - great study on a relatively simple melody with some technical stuff to learn.

Gorgeous, simply gorgeous. In every way.

I've had many an enchanted evening listening to the great finger-style jazz guitarist Lenny Breau. Recently I was listening to "Standard Brands," a two guitar duo album he recorded with Chet Atkins back in '83-'84: it has a sweet and tasty version of "Nearly Was Mine." I found out where the song came from and didn't remember hearing it from South Pacific, so curiosity blessed me with hearing this heartrendingly sentimental but not smaltzy version by Paulo Szot. Thank you YouTube (once again!)

Wow -- I was hoping to find a recording of "This Nearly Was Mine" that didn't butcher the score the way the original Broadway cast recording does -- and look what I found!
Szot is an amazing talent, and clearly one that will be around for many years to come.

Good Heavens! One of God's special creations, this man! Blessed with such beauty of both form and talent. Thank you for posting this. I am a huge fan of operatic talent, and Mr. Szot ranks right up there with the best. He is "new" to me, and I am grateful for the "discovery!" Bravo! oxoxo
