“If You Live” was written by Mose Allison. I first heard this played on the guitar by Steve Mann in the mid-1960s. It has taken me over 50 years to resurrect the arrangement using licks from Steve’s playing. The tune is played in the key of E. Steve’s playing imitated the basic riff that Mose played on the piano. A very groovy feel and the guitar becomes a six-string piano!
