    Saw Tommy for the first time live on Sunday night (2/14/16). I brought my daughter, my son, and my Father. My dad has always been a huge Chet fan; but recently was diagnosed with the onset symptoms of Alzheimer's. When Tommy played this song, my dad's eyes lit up. At that moment he had no memory issues and it all came back. It's been a while since I've seen him that happy. Thanks to Tommy and his crew for a night I'll never forget.

    Tommy made this song so much better with his inspired melody change from the original at 1:48 Listen to the earliest versions of this song, including one by Murial Anderson and you’ll see what I mean. Tommy’s change really spiced up the song in a great way.

    The first TE Concert I saw, Tommy played this, around 15 years ago (give or take) , I vividly remember it as I was heavily getting into playing fingerstyle guitar at that time, such a fantastic tune ( thanks Chet!) but Tommy's dynamics on this is just out of this world, I 've been working on it for years, playing through it, very tough! But I love it, thanks, Tommy!!! You are the best!
