Default Hi Mark Thanks! I was a littl

Hi Mark
Thanks! I was a little concerned because there is not a whole lot of harmony. It's not a popular song that I know of. It is more an extension of a lot of old "riffs" that we played mainly as backups while jamming in the 1950's. I had trumpet, trombone and tenor in my band and we did a lot of sitting in at the after hours bars on 8th Ave. in NYC. That is where a lot of the players from some of the bands of that era used to come in after a gig and let off some steam.

Where the heck can you go to get far from the Internet?? I need to find that place!

Fred
