Name this tune?
This melody has been driving me crazy for the past few days. I should know it, but it escapes me. Can anyone identify it? Sorry for the accidentals; it's probably in D the way I've played it.

It's almost Bolero by Ravel. Not quite. It could also be Memories from Cats which "borrows" Bolero.

Re: Name this tune?
It's an old standard maybe from the '20s or '30s. It's in G from this transcription.
I'm sending to a singer friend of mine with a vast repertoire and post on Facebook.
In my head, I think I hear Les Paul and Mary Ford doing it.
More later...(hopefully!)

Re: Name this tune?
It's definitely neither of those. I want to say it's a jazz standard or a show tune song.MIDI Life Crisis wrote:It's almost Bolero by Ravel. Not quite. It could also be Memories from Cats which "borrows" Bolero.

That's what's in my head. Just can't put a name or lyric to it. Thanks for passing it on to your friend.buzzsmith wrote:It's an old standard maybe from the '20s or '30s. It's in G from this transcription.

BINGO! Les Paul and Mary Ford did it, a little differently than the version in my head.buzzsmith wrote:It's an old standard maybe from the '20s or '30s. It's in G from this transcription.

Re: Name this tune?
This is closer to what I was hearing, although Les and Mary's version is fun.

Yes. I knew I heard the style of Les Paul. Wouldn't have thought of Chet!
