This beautiful guitar piece was composed by Manuel Ponce, in 1912. The arrangement is by Walter Kaye Bauer, from his book, "Familiar Music for the Classic Guitar." (no tablature in the book). I first heard this piece when I saw the W.C. Fields film, "Never Give a Sucker an Even Break." Gloria Jean, who was in movies of the 1940s, sings it beautifully in the film. (It should be played a bit faster - next time.)

  • Gloria Jean sings it in part 1 of "Never Give a Sucker an Even Break." (You can also see how nice and innoncent movies used to be.) It's on YouTube.

  • Lovely playing, Phil - one of your best songs. I haven't heard Gloria Jean sing it yet, but I plan to check out that Fields movie. Thanks for another good listen!

  • @freescorepaul Thanks, Paul. In the W.C. Fields movie, they almost overdo the sweetness, in the scene, but it's OK - movies then were more innocent. It's very sweetly done in the film.
