I am somewhat of a ragtime buff and I arranged this in the ragtime hawaienne style. When I play Sol Hoopii’s personal Rickenbacher, I get chills.

Wow. You killed it mike. Very cool style and arrangement. Ive messed with this tune on c6 pedal steel. Randy beavers does it, but i think the ISGC videos are off youtube unfortunately.

I really appreciate that. When I hear the melody, the wide interval makes me think of hula and the soulful Hawaiian yodeling, so I had to run with it.

Belated thanks, Craig. I am diligently working through a massive library of sheet music I have acquired, in addition to the ton I already had.
