Hi Serge, I learned this stuff by ear. Nowadays it is much easier than before because you can watch the masters on the many UA-cam videos. Thanks for listening.
The song was originally written in 1913 by Jim Burris. Around the same time the song came out, the expression ballin' the jack was used by railroad workers to mean going at full speed.The Jack was the slang name for a railroad locomotive, and balling meant going at high speed. Thanks for listening.
That lovely feeling when all the fundamentals are in place and you can take a tune for a wander like this. Brilliant.
Thanks for listening. I really appreciate the kind words.
