Dear Ginny and Craig,
I can certainly relate to that one.
Which shows that "Cherokee", in the hands of a professional like John
McLaughlin, suits guitar much better than it does trumpet.
For some reason I was reminded of the story of Segovia when asked why be
played a particular piece so fast, replied "because I can."
Kind regards,
Bill.
PS: I seem to recall Les Paul doing a similar version "Cherokee".
