Any college cats out there that need an internship? There's a lot of research to be done for the site!!! It would be perfect for a grad student that needed an internship. And since we're pretty legit now, this could go on your resume.

Listen to Etta sing it!!!!!

I love it! AND WALTER IS A MONSTER!

Here is the complete documentary!

If you're going to try out the online class this weekend here's a way to prepare.

Learn the melody and the chords. Don't worry about a chord melody or anything like that if you don't want to.

Be able to play through the tune EVEN if you read the music. The point is to get from the beginning to the end whether you memorize or read.

Play the the tune a little each day so it's working it's way in your mind.

Print out a lead sheet to the tune, so you can look along with us as we play through the tune.

Let me announce our new TOTM. How Deep Is the Ocean.

I talked with Behn and we will attempt to keep this TOTM at about a month. Behn's idea! Hence we will live up to it's description.

HOWEVER, and in addition. Next Saturday at 2 pm we will have an online class where we will talk about the tune and take questions. Behn and I want to really experiment with the class idea. We're going to be trying out (beta) two things. One is using Livestream for classes and the other is Skype.

Glen Dalrymple makes the quietest instrument I own. Well, not entirely true, but he rebuilt my M48 and it is now a beautiful instrument.

Behn and I were messing around with the m55 and m48*GD (Glenn Dalrymple). We found some things that made the m55 quieter but my rebuilt instrument was very very quiet.

If you have a new m55 don't just tighten the big nut above the pedal, tighten the one below it. As I found out. That did make my instrument quieter.

Just kidding!!!

Did post this one yet?
