    This wonderful tune is back up on Grisman's site, with a .pdf by John M. It is from the Dawgwood recording. The original is of course on Dawg Grass/Dawg Jazz, and features the great Grappelli on fiddle.

    Does anyone have a transcription of that version they would be willing to share? It's a bit more bare bones, and I think I have it down, just want to check.

    Nice to have the transcription and see I got almost all of the chords right!

    On the pickup Grisman seems to be working over an f#m7 or bm7
    chord; wonder what he was thinking of.

    It's been a while since I heard the LP, but, as I recall, that version is dominated
    by Martin Taylor's electric guitar solo.

    Beautiful song, beautiful blowing vehicle.

    Good for you, Peter, it has some un-common moves. I love the sound Grisman gets on maj 7 chords, which I think defined his approach back then. Don Stiernberg had him play on a tune on his (Don's) Mandolin Restaurant recording from 1989 that featured Judy Roberts, a pure-voiced scat singer. Grisman's maj 7 vamping really added to that tune.

    I don't think Taylor is on pure electric guitar, more like an acoustic run through something.
