Don Mason probably knows more songs than anyone on this forum - bar none! When he gives me an assignment, more often than not, it's either a song I've never heard, or just never tried. This one falls into the first category - never heard it prior to a couple hours before I recorded it.

The Song was performed by Elvis, Gatling Brothers, and others, and the original was in 3/4 time, but the more I listened to it, and read the lyrics, it screamed blues to me. So, not being all that bright, here's the 4/4 blues version.

Nice job, Gar ...
actually even though yours may be 4/4, it has more of a 12/4 feel to it, which to me translates pretty close to 3/4, as the 'time value' of the notes is just about the same ...
I'm sure Uncle Dave could explain it better than I could ... smile
was that a 'Gospel' style you were using ? ... sounds good ...

Tony, yes it was one of the gospel styles in the S950. They really have some great gospel styles in that keyboard.

Donny, I liked the rendition by the Gatling Brothers better.
