My Axe for the Semester

I'm in the jazz combo at my university this semester (Cal State, East Bay), and I was thrilled to find the music department has a beautiful instrument. Apart from a missing damper bar adjustment nut, it looks to be in good shape, and the bars sound great. The motor even works! Difficult to find in most music departments.

Tunes - What is H1CH?

Have you figured out what that means?

Head 1 chorus Head.

I do that a lot when i practice. just to make sure I play the head in and out. It feels a bit like a tune. This is not like doing a mini concert. It's the opposite, however at least you're still in the form of a tune. I really like doing it.

Chord Melody - H1CH - Triste

Ahh - I posted this one. It's funny.

first I'm talking to my self in the beginning! I'm mad because I don't think I'm concentrating hard enough. Next the dryer is on. I practice once or twice a week with the dryer on.

So I thought I'd give you an audio glimpse into my world. In a different life I have a lot of money and I have built a music room which is sound proofed with no dryers.
