Forum Topic: Being versatile?

There's a piano player/producer at my school right now from puerto rico names eddie montilla. he's a graduate from the class of 1977. he'much more of a hip hop producer, but he just got me thinking. he says that everyone should listen to all types of music, even the genres you can't stand, because one day you might need that knowledge.

Next TOTM?

Ok we need to pick the next tune.

who should pick it? Me? You guys? should we vote?

You want an easy tune like Blue Bossa? Just to see all the parts at work? Miss Jones? invitation?

the thing about You Stepped Out Of A Dream is we have a duet with me and Dave and tracks for some play along. It is a Tune guys play a lot but it's not on the top 20! But Maybe top 50 or 75.

Thoughts?

TOTM - My Romance - Behn Gillece

Hi all,

I wanted to get in on TOTM before the end of My Romance. Tony, this one's for you! Back when I used to take lessons with Tony, he'd always make me play solo, and I always complained about it! I used to say, "When am I ever going to play a solo gig, and if I did, it would probably be in a restaurant where no one would be paying attention anyway!" Then he would respond, "Well, if you can play solo, you can play duo, trio, etc." Good point! Anyway, here's My Romance a la "Miceli" solo style.

Resurrection of the Century

After a long process of disassembly, sanding (only to find out that the wood underneath was poplar ...), staining (twice because of poplar's tendency for color discrepancies), finishing, painting, felting, and re-assembling; she's finally finished. Eventually going to put it on ebay to get a more transportable instrument, but it's nice to have a great sounding vibe!
