If I had you (1928)

Good afternoon all. Tom Billotto and I have done various versions of "If I had you" over the years, both as an instrumental (like Atkins/Travis Travelling Show version) and Tom singing it. Some years back when I took up ukulele, Tom re-did the arrangement for guitar and ukulele. So, I sat down the other week and recorded it on a Zoom H4N. The rhythm part is on guitar (Neil Gardiner Concert), melody on a Kanilea K1 Tenor ukulele in "low G" tuning, and the ukulele rhythm part (comes in on 2nd verse) on a Kanilea K3 Super Concert ukulele in re-entrant (My dog has fleas) tuning. Hey, it's 3 tracks....The Beatles got nothing on me!
I hope you enjoy it.
