The Heart of Saturday Night

[@omnenamac1949]

Dare I say it but that's sweeter than the original. Beautiful

[@ChrisEllis1]

Thank you kindly! It's superb song.

[@luckydog-287]

Man! I am a new fan! Overwhelming, really. Across the globe to Tasmania, from over here in Nashville. Thank you! (Thank your the info on the tuning : )

[@DBMangum]

one of my all time favorites! Wonderful arrangement!

[@ChrisEllis1]

Thanks!

[@jamesmullins6681]

That Martin sounds lovely.

[@ChrisEllis1]

She's a beautiful beast of a guitar. Played it in a blue
grass lineup for many years.

[@TimothyGraff]

Absolutely lovely. You captured the essence of this ballad! Loved it immensely.

[@ChrisEllis1]

Thanks Timothy. The double bass utterly defines the feel of this song. I managed to find single reference of the bass notation that someone did years ago and painstakingly recreated it in my studio software.

[@TimothyGraff]

@@ChrisEllis1 very few artists can "pull off" a T.Waits song, and you did an exemplary cover of my top 20 of his work! Thanks again

[@akramer46]

Thanx... I really love that song and that was an excellent cover

[@ChrisEllis1]

Cheers man! It's a great song from one of the greatest artists.

[@johnbruno6868]

Wonderful rendition of one of my favorite TW tunes. Clean and smooth; I love it. Chris, thanks for putting it out here for us to watch and hear. I'm a new fan for ya' bro!

[@ChrisEllis1]

Thanks for listening! I've loved this song since I first heard it in the 80s.

[@jimkangas4176]

I mostly play jazz stuff, but this song reminds me so much of one of my friends that I wanted to play it for him. Your version is very straightforward and gets the essence. Thanks!

[@ChrisEllis1]

Thanks. I scoured the internet and found an image of music score a bass player had made of the bass in Tom Wait's orignal recording and then painstakingly added it to Logic. It makes the song.
