Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen
By request, I just added a lesson on this old Swing tune: Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen. Composed by Sholom Secunda, it was a hit song for The Andrews Sisters in the 1930's and featured lyrics in English and Yiddish. I recorded it on my "Time Capsules" CD with my band Acoustic Express. Here I play it in D minor on 3 harps- C, F, and G, and little bit on an A harp at the end. It's a tune that is playable for Intermediate players, but is much more satisfying to play if you can use overblows/overdraws, which is why I put it in the Advanced Lessons. I hope that many of you try out this great old tune- it is a lot of fun to play.
