    And thanks for the lead sheet.

    Since it doesn't specify the bass notes for those the three Gm chords, if you want to put the moving notes from them in the bass they would be Gm/G - Gm#7/F# - Gm7/F. And you could continue the bass progression by putting an E in the bass of the next C9 chord.

    It's a nice romantic tune.

    Thanks, Jerry. I'm trying to figure out how to upload Dad's tune here (it's stored on my other Mac/iTunes) and more of his music online for free. You can find some on Soundcloud.com either under my site (dcjazzguitar) or possibly under his name Ralph Chiocrel. If interested of course He's approaching 90, still composing/recording. He's made over 15? Albums or CDs. And two musicals. But mostly for family and friends these past 20 years. I'm trying to change that awareness while he's still with us If you Google Ralph Chicorel, you might find some interesting tales about him. He was in a lawsuit over the copywriter of Strangers in the Night back in the '60s. He wrote a tune called You Are My Love. I'd love for you to hear some of his stuff, knowing your taste in music, I'd be surprised if you didn't love his stuff

    Thanks again for the suggestions, duly noted and will look to check it out.

    As soon as several of your dad's tunes are iRp charts, I’ll start a Ralph Chicorel songs thread.

    4 years later... Seeing your last suggestion Jerry. I'll look into it. My dad (still alive at 93) has written well over 500 songs, was in a lawsuit over Strangers In the night with Bert Kaempfert (he settled back in '72). My dad's version is nicer than Strangers. He was influenced by all the great composers of our times, big lover of Jobim which influenced many of his tunes. Anyway... Thanks.

    Dan,

    Good to hear from you after all this time. I'd certainly be interested in seeing more of your father's tunes.

    Cheers,

    My pet project this year is to upload his music into the cloud/music services.

    I'll also try to upload some more of his stuff I have in irp format... But the lead sheets melody are necessary...

    You guys are great and I appreciate your interest. My father is an unknown brilliant composer (like many brilliant unknown musicians)... He deserves accolades for some music created thru the years...

    I'll upload some more charts and accompanying lead sheets...

    Default Blues on A Sunny Day

    This is one of my favorites from my dad's collection. Blues on Sunny Day - a haunting ballad... Originally recorded back in 1963. I'll dig for the lead sheet and lyrics.

    Here’s how I do that.
    I open the Forums in my browser instead of through the iRp app.
    Here’s the link to this thread:
    https://www.irealb.com/forums/showth...Chicorel-songs

    From the write/edit screen to which I’d like to add the jpg attachment, I select “Go Advanced”.
    Scroll down to Additional Options/Attachments and select “Manage Attachments”.

    At the top right select +Add Files / Choose File / <I select Photo Library> (your choice May be different)

    Select your image, “use” / “Upload”. a thumbnail should appear at the bottom of the attachment screen.

    Select “Done” , then complete your post and select “post quick reply” or whatever your posting button at the bottom of posting screen says…

    Good luck

    Also, the Dropbox lead sheet link here:
