    Default Buttons and Bows - Jay Livingston-Ray Evans

    Buttons and Bows Tony Rice Version

    I don't like the way this looks so if anybody wants to fix it please do.

    It's 180bpm but felt in a relaxed 3/4 (90bpm) for the first two measures then 2/4 for the rest.
    I did have it all written out in 4/4 for the A section but when you listen to the phrasing you hear the D- coming in on a strong down beat.
    You'll of course need to listen to the song. It's from The Rice Brothers 2.

    This song won an Academy award for best original song, and appeared the the Western film Paleface in about the 40s. But I barely recognised It from Tony Rice's playing - sorry. Just check out the many 1940s recordings for a cleaner version.

    Whoops - The YouTube version I found was obviously not Tony Rice, but an inferior banjo arrangement. Will keep looking for the real McCoy. I like the tune and play it on a 4 string banjolin.
