Graceful Ghost Rag (William Bolcom) arr. for Hawaiian steel guitar

It is truly an honor to perform such a beautiful piece of music, one of my favorite pieces, by William Bolcom. This is one of his three ghost rags. This is only the first two sections-rags have four sections. I will have the rest finished for my forthcoming recording.
I spent two or three days simply working out the parts for uke, and then I sang the song for a few days to embed the melody in my mind until I knew I could comfortably approach playing it. I tried a few different things before arriving here. The bass parts were taken from the sheet music.

What a great tune! Your arrangement and performance really has that nuance that goes beyond the notation. Thanks Mike
