Wouldn't it be cool to get back to our old tradition: the "Who is" posts?
If you want to know what a "Who is" is and read some of them, they are all here:

So my question today is... but for God's sake who is Babu? Huh? :o)

Transcribe this!

This is me playing Kai Stensgaard's brilliant "Concerto Mexicana"

The Piece is in Three movements.

The second and third movement can be found here:

i dug frits' solo!

I was inspired by Steve Shapiro's post today (see link, above), to play a tune originally performed on Rhodes electric piano, "Just the Way You Are" by Billy Joel. I just spent a couple hours on it tonight, but wanted to post what I had anyway.

Here is Fritz Landesbergen playing When You Wish Upon A Star on the new machine, sorry about the background, enjoy

Hey everyone,

A guy calls the local musicians' union to get a quote on a six piece band for a wedding.

The rep says: "Off the top of my head, I'd say about two thousand dollars."

The guy says: "ARE YOU KIDDING? —— FOR MUSIC?!?"

The rep responds…

"Let me suggest that you call the plumbers' union and ask for six plumbers to work from six to midnight on a Saturday night. Whatever they charge you, we'll work for half!"

Quick and Dirty Duet. Above are both of my parts, below are the play along tracks.

i tried to keep things very simple, you do the same!

I give some instructions while I play. Maybe we can get Behn to do one of these?
