Metronome at 138. Still lots of mistakes. Time to move on anyway.

Another take on My Buddy, an old classic from 1922 with Billy on clarinet, Mark on upright bass and myself on vibes taped during a session here at the house on 3/22/15. An enjoyable day having friends over to play, hang and have dinner. Special thanks to Gustavo Agatiello for overseeing the audio and videotaping.

Hi Everyone,

Here is an email I sent to Tony recently about the seeming lack of student activity going on at the site. He suggested I post it here for discussion. So I paste it below unedited:

"Hi Tony,

Wonderful composition by Mark titled "And Marvin is Monk" which is based on Blues changes. Fun tune to play on. The melody and changes are the catalyst for spirited and creative playing. Great comment by Mark at the end of the clip. "You guys are really getting nutty". I think that should be the title of the CD. Ha!Ha!
