- To Mike, I never played the Birthday Song because I couldn't reckon with one chord. It falls on the first syllable of the named person. Your soulful and exploring rendition in A puts that chord at the subdominant D major. Still, I'd like to hit Db7 first, or even Ab7 with a passing tone back to A and then to subdominant D. I have a similar harmony problem at "Rain" in "Over the Rainbow".
yes there is something to be explored there. i'll give your suggestions a try. i got carried away with mashing it in with paul motian's 'the bag man'
you can see where i paused on it in the first go round so perhaps subliminally i had the same reservations
