I didn't know this song, nor its author and interpreter Randy Newman!

..until I heard it on YT by Reina Del Cid and Tony Lindgren

Beautiful picking guitar accompaniment that made me want to try it
I finally forked on a version with an introduction a little old 78 rpm, then a version with an accompaniment by BIAB in a style Swing jazz with piano, acoustic bass, brush, and horn section
I do the guitar and the vocals

Brilliant choice of a cover :). Everything down from the guitar playing, vocals and what not, they all fit so well.

Merci les gars pour vos retours très appréciés...

This one fits you so perfectly. Love how the static crackle and old-time vocal effect at the beginning gives way to such warmth and clarity. Lots of lovely little details and harmonies too. So much fun to listen to. Brilliant!

love the tuba sound in here and the intro and then it morphs into a totally different sound.... I wouldn't have minded hearing the whole song with that effect at the start but wow this track sounds great! 
when i was very small my mom took me to a baby sitter some times.  She was a lovely woman who would put this sort of music on (Sinatra, etc) and she would slow dance with her lover and I remember I loved hearing that music so much...don't know why but this one invokes that memory for me and that was a very long time ago

Thanks guys, I also like this old recording effect
there I made it with a plug ins Waves ABBEY ROAD VINYL, which allows to add crakle, noise and clicks, but one can very well make it with an Eq by cutting the low and high frequency, and a little of average frequency and by adding cracks of 78 rpm which one finds in free sound effects on Internet, in MP3 ;)

LOL the crackling effect got me I have been having trouble with the internet since the last window update then it kicked in so nice I had to start from the beginning again to really appreciate it nicely done
