I have added a C6th arrangement of the Hoagy Carmichael/Johnny Mercer tune 'Skylark' to my tab page. I think its fair to say that this song is not very well known, and that it has a very weird middle 8 . Doug Jernigan has recorded the tune, and, to refresh your memory, you can hear a clip of Malcolm McNeill singing it here .

Thanks Mick for the effort well done.
Everyone should check out K.D. Langs rendition of Skylark off the sound track
to "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil"
ok, well lets just say its not as well known as 'Stardust' anyway (what is ?)
I know that Ella recorded it but I haven't (yet) heard her version. I have got quite a few KD albums, but not the one with Skylark on. Thats 2 things to look forward to
Certainly didnt mean to give the impression I don't like the song - I've yet to hear the Hoagy tune that doesnt agree with me.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by mickd on 30 January 2003 at 12:22 PM.]</p></FONT>
Hello Mick,
I have always loved playing Skylark. Recently I worked it up for the E9th tuning and published it in a recent issue of the PSGA Newsletter. It's one of those great songs that translates well on either the C6th or the E9th tuning. I am enjoying your arrangement.
Chuck
