This piece is part of the collection Styles & Smiles, Vol. 1.
The Ol’ Fishin’ Hole by James L. King III is a sentimental early-intermediate piece with lots of harmonic fourths played Floyd-Cramer-style. Particularly suitable for adult students, it has a sophisticated sound.
Adult students love this piece because the tempo is manageable without a lot of practice time needed. The rhythm is flexible and forgiving, sounding good nearly all the time. They’ll work on harmonic fourths and legato and Floyd-Cramer-style patterns in the right-hand.
Key: C Major
Mood: wistful, longing, calm
Pedagogy: harmonic fourths, legato, hand position changes, rubato

You might feel like you’re at a carnival; you might just feel like you’re at a beach in Mexico. Either way, Sobre Las Olas captures the moment perfectly.
This collection has the famous jazz standard in lead sheet form (with verse and chorus) and six realizations from James L. King III for early to late intermediate players. Starting with just playing single notes in the left hand to playing full, professional-style arrangements, students will gain confidence and experience in playing from lead sheets.
This calm and peaceful pedal exercise is also a beautiful pattern-based recital piece.
