I figured I'd try and record this from memory, despite only starting to memorize it a few days ago. Lots of little technical errors but the goal was to put up something displaying my level of technical competence at this point. My apologies to David for the misplaced notes and errors. I decided to learn this a couple of weeks ago for a concert gig I did last week with a harpist. I needed a little solo piece to include and I found this, and liked it. Anyway, the first video is loaded. Just beginning this journey so lots to learn.
i'll post this for you. but

I briefly looked to see if I could delete that post. Please feel free to remove it; I should have asked first, and now I can clearly see the hyperlink for "post" on the left. Again, my apologies.

Its weird, but one of the things I'm learning about this new language and new journey...is that sometimes "practicing" means just noodling around...playing with the changes, voicings, and MOST importantly (for me anyway), trying to hear melodies in my head that I can translate to the keyboard...it all takes on a very different kind of feeling than does the typical practicing I've done over my early developmental years. I don't know if this makes sense or not, or if I"m on the right track. But it feels like some of the time, this is what comes out of my practice time. I can feel some improvements in these areas, but it's slow...

Great list! The stride stuff is some of my favorite...especially the Summertime lesson and, of course, the washer machine video ;) but here are some other vids that have been helpful/inspiring:
A lot of Christos' stuff, especially these three (I think I've watched these around fifty times each...):

Yeah no problem!
I've been hoping to get in a Philly trip. Sadly my other Philly friends have all moved away, but it'd be cool to come jam and see you and Anne. Maybe later this fall.
And yes, happy to do some organizing on the site if it's helpful. I've got some extra time for vibe stuff in my life again this year. :)
