@GuitarHeroPhenomSux It's a tenor guitar - very popular in the 1920s and 1930s in jazz and country music. It's tuned like a viola, in 5ths (CGDA), so the top 3 strings are the same as the bottom 3 on a fiddle or mandolin. It lends itself to melodic phrases in a way that's better than a conventional guitar. This was made for me by a luthier buddy and has a particular sweet tone and projection. :-)
You did it! -- splendid! It seems highly appropriate to me to hear an Englishman doing this song -- although I know it's because I believed it to be of English origin; I didn't realize that Carroll Gibbons himself was an American. The tenor taking the melody lends a beautifully nostalgic quality -- and I'm so glad you did that spiffy verse twice.

Lovely tune, thanks Will
Sweet..absolutely sweet. I'm conflicted because I love the lyrics so much but such a fantastic presentation!
Absolutely lovely. As a dance band fan I had some how missed this tune. Your smile at the end
sums up nicely. Thanks.

@HenfieldWill, I'll sure say.. You're very fortunate to have it. Thanks for the info. I'll do some Google searching on it..
Lovely! Happy Boxing Day! (The melody sounds vaguely familiarto me has it been used in a pop song?) Happy Boxing Day, Dave
is this the same song as the one Sinatra did on the London album (albeit in a different key?)
MooseLeader1 I can't tell you, I'm afraid, as I don't know the Sinatra album in question. :-)
Four string guitar?! I've never seen one of those.. What strings does it have and what are the benefits? Great cover by the way..
