daBowsa Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Anyone have any recommendations for arrangements for this tune? I'm looking for an organ one, and a piano one. It seems like there's a "standard" arrangement for each, because it always sounds pretty similar - any ideas? -Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Pierce Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 I don't have an answer for your question, but I'm taking my wife to Pac Bell for her first time in a couple of weeks. I haven't been there in a while myself. Now I've got that running through my head in anticipation... ....and it's root, root, root for the GIANTS If they don't win they are BUMS Cuz it's ONE, TWO, THREE strikes you're OUT At the oooolllllddddd, baaaaalllll, gaaaammmmeee!!!

daBowsa Posted July 21, 2004 Author Share Posted July 21, 2004 Man, this song has been stuck in my head for months now. I'll listen to a Sox game on the way home from work and it'll still be bouncing around the next morning. I'm hoping I can "learn" the tune out. It seems like a standard worth knowing...

Mark Zeger Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Rochester pianist Gap Mangione (yes, Chuck's brother) recorded a big band version of it. Here's a link to an .mp3 of it: http://www.gapmangione.com/Planetgap2.htm#music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burningbusch Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 That tune pretty much plays itself in B, which you can't say about many others. Busch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarkus Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Just thought of this thread as I'm going to see the Mets v Houston at Shea tonight. Jane Jarvis was the organist for the Mets from inception. I used to really enjoy the atmosphere and the corny organ solos that good ol Jane provided in her day even when the Mets were less than entertaining on the field. If any of you are not familiar with the "Meet the Mets" theme song, the following link provides an excellent rendition by one of the greats of Ball Game Organists. With out further comment, I give you the Mistress of the Ball Park Organ - - Jane Jarvis! http://metscentral.net/main.php?name=audio (bottom page on right under MISC.

moj Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Check out jazz pianist Tardo Hammer's recording. He does a nice reharmonization of this song. Scroll down to "Somethin' Special". Tardo Hammer Audio Clip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarkus Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Had a blast at the Mets game last night (they won). I don't like how the stadium organist has been replaced by a DJ of sorts. I think its kinda cheesy when they play 'snippets' of pop music prior to each batter approaching the plate. * before the game they featured an all girl string quartet : Bond (another stupid band name) These girls were good looking and appeared to be 'miming' their parts. They were using the latest in electrified string instruments while carefully sync-ed up to a backing track, complete with snappy sequenced percussion. Then they graced the audience with a sterile - over-produced, pop sounding national anthem, also complete with snappy pop percussion sequence. I miss Jane Jarvis.
