[78-L] "It's the Wrong Song, in the Wrong Style..."

[Taylor Bowie]

And to complete my attempt at record scholarship,  I now see that I named 
the wrong song in at least one of my posts.   The correct song is Sam the 
Old Accordion Man.  I just played it again,  and it is pretty jazzy with 
some unusual modulations which I'm sure a real musician could name,  but 
which just sound "cool" to me.

Taylor
