Excellent! Thanx a lot!

Hmm it seems that only the first four bars are a perfect match, from there martin weiss' tune is nothing like Young at Heart. Also in his announcement he says something about "inaudible mumble" this song from his grandfather...

@Carlo
I probably should have listened further

I'm stumped.

Hmm, it's the chord changes from "I Love You" done as a waltz with a melody reminiscent of "Young At Heart." I don't know what the song is.

In the beginning he says something that kinda sounds like "my composition".
Find a German speaker and ask for translation. Maybe Joscho Stephan is on the forum and he'll chime in?

Hello guys,

it is a composition by Martin Weiss himself, called "Merci Grand Pére". It is dedicated to his grandfather.

And by the way, it is not based on "Young at heart", but on "Verboten" by Paul Anka:

Enjoy - and

Best regards

Whatever it is, he plays it very nicely. The opening still sounds like Young At Heart to me. The Paul Anka tune must have been a regional hit on Europe. Also great TONE and sound quality...I wonder what kind of pickup he's using? Big Tone?

Thanks for posting.

Swang on,
