Rock & Roll / & Learning Jazz Improvisation

• Had a really great time practicing with the rock and roll band tonight. The highlight for me was doing the Beatles' "I Saw Her Standing There." I think we nailed it with the help of the drummer keeping rock rolling in a great way. Had a stab at doing "She Loves You;" was cool to even just try this classic. 

• I think I am actually going to utilize the Elliott jazz book. It's intimidating (to me), but I'm very very close to trying to commit myself to it. It seems like it might be "the way to go," and I like its layout. Started working on it.

• I continue to lose weight. Eating better, and did 1/2 hour on the exercise bike.
