Pagan Love Song

[Andy Volk]

"Pagan Love Song" is a 16-bar tune that really has legs. I thought it was a movie song from the 40s but a quick YouTube search shows it goes back to the late 1920s. It was originally in 3/4 but a lot of people play it in 4/4. I like to do it as a fast swing tune. Just a few of the versions out there of this clearly, very adaptable tune ...

This is interesting because it sounds like Jerry Byrd... I would bet my lunch money on it.
