This swinging song is based on a memory of one of the figures in a song played about 45 years ago. It still swings. In memory of Frank Cermack, arranger and bandleader and nice guy.
Just an old man having fun.
I just started this page to have a place to post clips where friends can find them. I play light "old school" (because I am old) jazz on several instruments. I started recently recording clips on a laptop using a good mic to compare the sounds of different setups for the saxes. I only have one clip at the moment that does not use copyrighted songs. I'll get busy and do some more.

Story behind the song
I've had parts of this figure (as played by the piano) floating in mind for years. I think something like it was used by Frank as a background in two songs he arranged for his band, "Sweet Sue" and "Baubles, Bangles and Beeds." This recording borrows the sense of swing Frank's band had. Here I have used custom sounds from the Yamaha YPT-410 in the background and added solos of piano, vibes and soprano sax (Runyon Custom w Spoiler).
