I finally found out what this song was called the other day and decided I'd like to try a cover of it. It's called, "New Soul" and it's by Yael Naim, from her self-titled 2007 album. It's not a very difficult song (unless you put a bunch of crazy pentatonic runs and high notes in it, which I might just do- I'm testing that part out, LOL!), but it's such a catchy song! I like it! I think you'll like it too!
This is a very rough run-through. Actually I had just eaten a half bag of popcorn and then decided to record this! (I don't really recommend eating popcorn before playing the trumpet- the popcorn skin gets stuck in your teeth!)
I used my Tascam DP008 recorder with its built-in microphone. That's why you kind of hear the trumpet coming in and out. And on the high stuff at the end, I actually had to place myself as far back from the mic as I could in my small recording room/booth! ;-)
Enjoy! Dave
Tech specs: using my Kanstul Chicago 1000 (copy of Chicago 3X) trumpet. Fun horn to play!

![Buster Keatons The Boat (1921) [SILENT]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LmGUNGs-1qg/hqdefault.jpg "Buster Keatons The Boat (1921) [SILENT]
One of my favorite Buster Keaton shorts, The Boat follows the misadventures of a determined and sea-bound man and his family as they head off in uncharted waters on-board the Damfino (read/pronounced, Damn, if I know!).
Were lucky to have this film to enjoy in part to actor, James Mason, who purchased Keatons former home in 1952 and found the only print of this film (a nitrate in deteriorating condition), as well as other films, and had them restored. Its interesting too that Keaton is working with children and I think its this point that makes this particular comedy short stand out among all his other works, because here we see him married with children a theme not common to his other movies. And his interacting with the two children in this short probably bears some resemblance to how Buster and his father worked together when Buster was a child performer.
This short is in the public domain and Im uploading a truly silent version with no background music. Im sure youll agree, most times the cheesy, canned music (usually synthesized) isnt necessary. So, here is.... The Boat starring Buster Keaton! Enjoy!
