$2.50 Transcribed from the Floyd Cramer recordings by Bill McElhiney Having worked closely with Floyd Cramer in arranging the orchestral background for the recordings of most of these songs, | was very pleased to be asked to transcribe the piano solo parts as played by Floyd. This job was somewhat the reverse of our work on the recordings, where we get together in planning the keys and routine of the songs and then | proceed to try to come up with orchestral background ideas and floyd works out his unique style of playing the melodies. This style, as you will note, makes use of many short “grace” type notes played on the beat to embellish the melody with usually a single harmony note played above the melody in a very smooth manner, which, if played correctly, never loses the sound of the original melodic line. 1 have tried to transcribe Mr. Cramer's solos as faithfully as possible, and | sincerely hope you enjoy playing them. Whenever possible | would suggest that you listen to Floyd’s recordings of these songs as you prac- tice from the book, as this will help you tremendously in relating the “Bill MEE Wney notes to the correct sound.
