[@skipperherman5766]

So good, so inspiring.

[@Trombonology]

If only Eddie could hear this too ... He would love your rendition just like the rest of us do!

[@old-fashionedmusic6606]

I wanna meet him in person🤩And, wanna see his action and strings. Probably, that was so different from what we think the guitar should be!!!😅💦

[@Daviej5700]

Nice...

[@prycerobertson4695]

Eddie Lang would've been proud!

[@old-fashionedmusic6606]

I hope so!!!! He must have been better than we thought!!!

Very Nice ☕🎸

A beautiful melody, wonderfully done. Subarashī, Yuji-san.

[@old-fashionedmusic6606]

Arigatou!! Speak Japanese!?

[@AnomaloCaris460]

@@old-fashionedmusic6606 Yuji-san. No. I just remember very little from when I was in Japan many years ago for a business workshop in Ebina. After the workshop, I went to Fuji-kyu Highland, and climbed Mt. Fuji. Beautiful country. I was a drummer in two (rock) bands, but always loved the sound and tones of guitars -both nylon (classical), and electric (archtops). I have one of each, and your videos (and with Hirofumi-san) are very nicely done. You both should make a CD, and get Yano-san to join.

That was lovely 🙏

My Grandfather, born in 1909 used to play April Kisses and taught it to me. It's possible that he met Eddie Lang. Grandad played banjo in Harold Arlen's band for a while as did Joe Venuti (violin) JV played a lot w/ Eddie Lang. I was touched ny the authenticity that you bring to this song. Thank you.

[@old-fashionedmusic6606]

Thank you very much. I believe there are too many good stories buried like your grandfather’s to be heard to next generation. It is nearly impossible to know early jazz history in my country unless I read jazz history books written in English. Eddie Lang and Joe Venuti are my heros which are almost forgotten in today’s world. But without them, Jazz history can be diffenet. I respect them deeply and want to keep them alive for today’s world. 😊
