Champagne Charlie - Blind Blake - Art & Lutherie Ami Cedar - Ariberto Osio

One of the first pieces that Max De Bernardi tried to teach me.
Mmmhhh....I guess I need SOME MORE lessons from the master to reach the levels of his performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTD03GdgofA
I still find tricky to play that G7 and C chords damping the middle open strings efficiently for if I let them resonate freely I loose the groove, if I damp them too much with my palm the joyful sound of this blue Art & Lutherie Ami Cedar is almost gone.
I think that this song is a very happy and bright piece, always a fun to play.
I hope you enjoy it the same, listening to my simple version or Mr. De Bernardi pyrotechnical one.
Have fun!
:-)


CHAMPAGNE CHARLIE Blind Blake C capo 2
INTRO (X2)
Champagne Charlie is my name
Champagne Charlie is my name
Champagne Charlie is my name by golly
Robbin' and stealin' and is my game

INTRO
Have you seen my true love
Never been there before
shoes and stockings in her hand
And her feet all over the floor
Champagne Charlie is my name
Champagne Charlie is my name
Champagne Charlie is my name by golly
Robbin' and stealin' and is my game
INTRO
I got drunk last night
Stoned the the night before
ain't drinking, drunk no more'
I ain't gonna get drunk no more

Champagne Charlie is my name
Champagne Charlie is my name
Champagne Charlie is my name by golly
Robbin' and stealin' and is my game

INTRO (X2)
I went down to Louisville
And I ain't been there before
And a great big bullet knocked me down
And I ain't been back no more

Champagne Charlie is my name
Champagne Charlie is my name
Champagne Charlie is my name by golly
Robbin' and stealin' and is my game

INTRO (X2)
Champagne Charlie is my name
Champagne Charlie is my name
Champagne Charlie is my name by golly
Robbin' and stealin' and is my game

INTRO (X2) + ENDING.

I love ragtime:and this is a classic.

This was great from start to finish and you looked so happy playing this.

Really like this one. I think Leon Redbone did a version of this. You sure are a good picker.
