'I Fall In Love Too Easily' - Jazz piano lesson

'I Fall In Love Too Easily' - Jazz piano lesson. I was hoping that this might be in stereo - I don't think it is though! The stereo version is on my website at http://www.bushgrafts.com
along with a leadsheet and a transcription.

It is quite different from my other recent uploads - almost classical in its simplicity. I got the idea from hearing a version by Dutch Pianist Harry Happel. The song which, in its usual form, has been recorded by lots of jazz pianists, is transformed by using the sort of chord scheme used by 'classical' composers of piano music - the ostinato type left hand figures, the use of pedal tones, the logic of a descending bass voice, and the minor key.
I used a simple leadsheet, and improvised the bass figures as I played, so they may not be absolutely perfect. As it was my intention to play it as an accompaniment for a female singer, it has been played in a key that would suit the usual female range, and not in the usual key.

awesome and inspiring! you are a one thousand times better than the wanna-be-jazz musicians trying to teach on youtube, who want you to pay a lot of money for their stupid dvd,

Now, I'm being really picky. I don't know much on jazz, but I've studied baroque music for sometime. If it's G harmonic for the RH, shouldn't it be G, F#, F, Eb, etc, etc? The F# replacing the Gb. Gb would make a diminished 1, while the raised seventh creates the leading tone.

Not to mention, in your music the transcription shows a F# and not a Gb. Was this a mistake or am I missing something?
