Love Letters in the Sand on Hammond B3

This great popular standard began life as a poem by Nick Kenny. Songwriter J. Fred Coots read the poem in the New York Daily Mirror, and obtained Kenny's permission to set the poem to music. ...Lyrics were credited to both Nick Kenny and his brother Charles Kenny. The song was first recorded on 26 August 1931, as a "vocal chorus" sung by Helen Rowland within a foxtrot played by the Majestic Dance Orchestra. George Hall popularized the song on his radio show, later making it his theme song. Ted Black and His Orchestra, with vocalist Tom Brown, had the first major hit recording of the song in 1931. Pat Boone had a major hit with the song in 1957. Pat Boone's version became a major hit in June and July 1957, spending 5 weeks at number one on the Billboard Top 100, with 34 weeks in total on the chart. Billboard ranked it as the No. 2 song for 1957. In Canada, the song spent two weeks at number one. The song was used in Boone's 1957 film Bernardine. Boone did the whistling in the instrumental portion of the song as well. The song originally had a short instrumental introduction, but most versions begin with Boone's voice. The above is mostly from Wikipedia. In my opinion with its seashore setting this almost sounds like a Hawaiian song, and thus for the last verse I played the melody on one of the excellent imitation Guitars on the "Garage Band" app on an iPad, and then accompanied that on the Hammond. Mostly, I have tried to give this a somewhat "Hawaiian song" feeling, but I started off the first part using a RH rhythm pattern in a similar manner to how the 1950s Hammond artist, Ken Griffin played it, but Ken used a 1950s Wurlitzer electrostatic organ, so the sounds I get on a Hammond do not sound like what Griffin played because it's really not possible to make a Hammond reproduce most of the unique sounds of the Wurlitzer intrument. Here's a handy time line to go to specific places in the video, and it also works from the "scrub bar" below the video. 00:00 Intro. 00:10 Melody in LH, rhythm chords on RH. 00:37 1st Verse bridge, Harmony above the melody, Melody augmented by "Soloizing" device on Hammond. 00:52 Solizing device adding sustain percussion to melody. 01:08 2nd Verse, key of A.
