That's a true story,

too. That's exactly the way it happened.

But if I ever run across that guitar again,

I'll recognize it, because I carved my

first girlfriend's initials all over it,

if I could only remember

what her name was.

Let's face it,

folks, it's been a while.

You're beautiful.

Thank you very much.

I've had a lot of great thrills in my professional life, and without a doubt,

at the top of the list would have to go back to 1976 when I was invited

on behalf of our government

and the Soviet government

to make a tour of

the Soviet Union.

And because of that trip,

I was invited to go back in 1988.

And on that occasion,

I was able to take my band with me


and show them off.

And we filmed a television special


that some of you may have

seen.

I'm very proud of that special

because, well thank you, thank

you very much.

It's not just a musical,

it shows you a side of the Soviet

citizens

that you don't get a chance to see.


And I think it just proves once again

that people are just people

all over the world.

Only governments are different.

And we learned a beautiful old

Russian folk song

while we were over there

we'd like to play for you this

evening

called Moscow Nights.

Now this melody

may sound familiar to some of

you

because back in the mid -60s

it was a hit record

for a Dixieland band.

But we learned it from the natives.


This is the way they play it

on this particular rendition.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
