Well, I gave a cursory search through the directory, more going on the
fact that I've never seen a topic in here like this. Mod, move this as
appropriate.
That said, I'm looking for the changes to the swing tune "Fujiyama",
done by Dan Hicks (I think before he was an "acoustic warrior"...). I
can get the changes off any recording, but this one's just a little too
much for me...
Can anyone help?
thanks,
Charlie

Your note prompted me to pull out my "Striking it Rich" disk (Dan Hicks
and his Hot Licks ca. 1971) and have a listen. The song is only 39 seconds
long, but he sure packs some cool changes into that short amount of time.
To me it sounds like stright 4/4 timing. The best I can tell the rhythm
is comping on the following chords: | = 1 beat.
F#min B7 E A

A G F#9 F9 A

The lead is shared between a guitar and mandolin. I won't attempt
the melody line. It's typical of Dan Hicks and his understated Jazz
style. After all these years, I still love this stuff. Dan Hick's
swings, and his vocals are untouchable. In the past, I've covered
"Cowboy's Dream #19", "Payday Blues", and "You've got to believe".
All great tunes and they went over surprisingly well considering
Dan Hicks was never widely known.

Mark,
Much thanks. I'm not really capable in either swing or jazz, but this
is one cookin' tune, and we're going to do it in a trio of fiddle,
guitar, and bass. Wish me luck...
