Thought I'd join in on these practice tapes. I've been working on reharmonizing this tune. Just some of it, not the whole thing. I recorded it for myself, but I figure I'll just throw it on here for everyone. I tried to get some motion in…

Okay, after Tony's joke on the practice tape post, I decided this subject probably needed its own thread. So here is my story about the motor: When I was a student, I started playing and decided that to sound modern on the vibes, one…
