Content type: Story
I banged this baby out. Really fast. But it looks ok. Let me know where the mistakes are. But it's a lesson in drop 2 voicings. Now that I know what drop 2 voicings are I see them everywhere! How about choral writing. Big band charts.

I'm working on Dolphin Dance with one of my online private students. I told him I'd do a duet with him. Here's the duet. I figured I'd put it up so anybody else who wants could mess around with it. I'm not going for concert material here,…

Oh Danny Boy

Content type: Blog entry
Ok, I know Barry is a sentimentalist. So I'm going to try and crank out a drop 2 arrangement of 'Oh, Danny Boy'. Then we should all work on that, solo on it and post it for Jon Daly and Ireland. Maybe then we need to have a vibe hang with…

Here is the best take of the night (out of 15) of my work on arranging Danny Boy. I start out with closed voicings, then repeat with open voicings using Drop 2 of the previously played closed voiced chords. The melody uses mallet…
