Song Long, Marianne, St. John's 2008 Unique!

Post by LisaLCFan »

Hey All,

I was reminded in another thread of this unique 4/4 version of So Long, Marianne that Leonard played in St. John's and Moncton in 2008. I love this (and every other version of So Long, Marianne)! Here's the St. John's version:

Enjoy! :D

What a unique arrangement - made me want to cha cha cha. Maybe this arrangement was the reason for that special chuckle. Loved the whole thing - thanks Lisa!

Wow, that's quite different! I like it, but still prefer the normal tempo version, this one reminds me a bit of salsa music!

That is an excellent chuckle though :lol:
