This blog is about me and my music. My current focus is on learning piano using the Sudnow Method and guitar improvisation. I currently play guitar in a band that concentrates on playing the early rock and roll of the 50’s and 60’s. I also play guitar in a trio setting that focuses more on the jazzy side. Seemingly irrelevant posts on this blog reflect topics that are probably expressed in my music somewhere.

Christmas in September
Completed figuring out "The Christmas Song" today. Of course it still needs work, but it sounds pretty good!
Had a good Gypsy Jazz band practice tonight. Looks like I'll be singing "Moonglow." Playing no real improv. solos, I'll be on rhythm.
No one seems too interested in buying my Ibanez! Wanna sell it, get an Epiphone acoustic that caught my eye for $150, and work on my effects for my electric set up.

Santa's on his Way
Did not practice yesterday. Continued work today on "The Christmas Song," and I'm about up to "...they know that Santa's on his way..." part. Having a hard time selling my Ibanez. Gypsy Jazz band practice tomorrow.

Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire
Started working on "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)." Got up to these lines: "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Jack Frost nipping at your nose. Yuletide..."
Also reviewed the minor 7th chord forms.
Want to watch the DVD associated with the "Assembly Line" book.
