"Simple Melody"

WOW am I proud of myself.  In the last two days I was able to work out and play the duet with counter melody of "Simple Melody."  I have tried things like this in the past but had no success.  I guess the lessons and hours of practice are paying off.

Joint is Jumpin

After hearing it several times on a commercial, I have decided to start working on an arrangement of "The joint is Jumpin'".  It has some tricky rhythms that will require some work.

O Devine Redeemer by Gounod

After hearing a recording a while ago of Lyn Larsen playing "O Devine Redeemer" by Gounod.  It isa very emotional melody.  I can't to try it on the LL Allen 324 at Bristol Glen later today.

Gloomy Sunday

I found a touching song.  Gloomy Sunday.  It is a sad blues song about suicide that I first heard on a TV show about the Lindbergh baby kidnapping.  The song was popular in Europe during the trial.
