I'm Confessin' That I Love You

Post by Dale Rottacker »

This was a squirrel that ran from out of the bushes and got me chasing it instead of something else I wanted to do.

It popped up unexpectedly and when I heard it I knew I knew that it but hadn’t thought of it in years. It’s weird how difficult 71 bpm can be for me, though Dean Martin didn't seem to have a problem there and Samara Joy did it even slower at 64 bpm … faster would’ve been easier, but fairly happy with how it turned out. Kinda like the feel of it.
Still have too much movement in my right hand 😩

Thanks Steve ... I wish this stuff came more naturally to me. I've been thinking I should investigate where I'm going with some single line stuff, like from a 4-1, or 2-5-1 and lock those patterns in my head.

Thank you my friend, I am as well ... even as a teenager I was listening to Dean Martin 45's on my record player on my bed.

I really enjoyed that! Thank You! I know that song goes back to at least 1930 and almost everyone recorded it at some point it seems, one of my favs for sure. Gotta learn it at some point.

Ah thanks Quentin, I'm glad you think so ... I'm sure enjoying discovering new things on this neck.

Thank you Tim ... glad you enjoyed this, you should definitely learn it, its a fun song. I think this was written in 1929, but under another name and then changed somehow in 1930 when Louis Armstrong did it. Well written songs seem to have some staying power don't they?
