I have done this one before, but a friend suggested that it might sound better played on an archtop guitar.
So this is a Silvetone arch top from 1960 I have bought on eBay.
As I said on the previous version: Words & Music by Johnny Burke & Jimmy Van Heusen
Recorded by Bing Crosby, 1942
From the movie "Road to Morocco"
I'm not Bing Crosby, but I like the tune, and the chord progressions I have figured out for it.
I almost allways play old time music, so it's fun to play around with some jazz chords once in a while.
Wow it rings out beautifully. What a sound. I close my eyes and I am right there in that bar.Smoke hurts my eyes (I don't smoke) and there is Bing Crosby crooning in front of that old RCA microphone. Great stuff Jesper!

Thank you Fridrikur. It was your comment of my first version of the song here, that made me do this one. I play it in a key a bit lower, and I think you were absolutely right, the arch top sound much better for this kind of stuff.
I'm glad you like it.
