Great tune

this tune is a true classic, features in all my strip the willows!

Uses the Major pentatonic mode (no 4th no 7th). Just what a trump player needs!

Can someone add the accordion bass to this tune

Basses

Joe, I recently learnt this tune from my accordion teacher, he wrote down chords and basses for me that work well. I’ll try and post it up for you sometime soon…
