Is anyone familiar with this tune
(and know of an online mp3 where I could hear it)?
thanks--Joel
[edit]
Its by Romane from his first CD.
Tom Conway on a CD Baby mp3 plays the head and
there's a Romane solo at the Calabash Music site
Great tune--spooky vibe.
Here is a very rough notation.
It really is much more subtle than this...

So many questions:
I assume from your edit that you sprang for the .99 cents? What program are you using to write out your music? And where in NE are you?
Also, there's a transcription of the tune in L'Esprit Manouche, now on sale!
Best,
Jack.
Questions are good...:^)
Tom Conway's CD seems to be unavailable.
The melody was played completely in its CD Baby mp3.
The Calabash site has most of a Romane solo in its
40 second freebie mp3. Will probably buy the tune there.
I'm a swing violin player, mandolinist and rhythm guitarist
living in Maine near Portsmouth NH. Playing recently with
some of the musicians in the Hot Club of Portland.
Should say Hi in a more formal way here...
The program is Band in a Box. Very useful for making lead sheets.
Unfortunately, without a midi keyboard the program forces you into
certain "rhythmic straightjackets" resulting in inaccurate melody.
Anyone using the chart with me is playing rhythm or improvising
though, and I play from memory. BB is a fantastic tool and a real
bargain. This chart is jammed on to one page. Usually the look is
cleaner and easier to read.
