Ella: Summertime when the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin and the cotton is high You're daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin' So hush little baby, don't you cry Louis: One of thses mornings you gonna rise up singing Oh you spead your wings and you take to the skies But till that morning, ain't nothin' can harm you Yea with Daddy and Mommy standin' by Ella: Summertime when the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin and the cotton is high You're daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin' So hush little baby, don't you cry

grande Adam

[@adamrafferty]

Thank you Riccardo! 😊

[@fierybones]

Sweet!

[@JalanBangsar]

I always want to read your mind, what were you thinking when you arrange everything. 1 keeping the bass notes constantly "walking", 2 Harmony and melody lines, 3 The groove. You make the three thing happen on the guitar at the same time perfectly.

[@adamrafferty]

+Quyuan Leo Lots of practice & planning :-) Thank you!

[@pottendopottendo]

Awesome... definitely a project/goal for me (one day); thank god I'm already subscribed... thanx for sharing!

[@adamrafferty]

[@GerhardGschossmann]

Hi Adam, this is a really great arrangement... a complex combination of melody, harmony, bass and rhythm... that´s what I like in fingerstyle arrangements.... and as all of your recordings, again perfectly played and a great sounding guitar... congratulations.... many greetings from Stuttgart/Germany - Gerhard

[@irongrandpa3711]

Good job !

[@JulesFaife]

Hi Adam, great and groovy arrangement! I have a question that might be unusual but is normal for those who try to make music making part of their everyday routine. How do you find balancing personal and professional life? As you said above, it takes a lot of work, practice and thought to create what you do. And to reach a very high level in anything you need time, time, time! How do you manage to put in the time that you need... and do you manage to focus very quickly on what you need to do?

[@inge.lamboo]

Youre amazing man!

[@reneschiekel968]

Hallo Adam, wie immer super. Gruß Max und Familie
