i hope mr.locke don´t mind that i did my version of his beautiful song.i am not too pleased with the solo part but in one take i couldn´t do any better than this...anyway here it is...

The best cart out there, I think.

Some time ago, Tony started a "gig story" series. This one here is by Paul Emil Breitenfeld, AKA Paul Desmond. It's to be found, among other things in relation to Desmond, on http://www.puredesmond.ca/. It's a most humorous gig story written by the guy who thought he sounded "like a dry Martini". We can all do with a bit of humor these days, can't we ?
I've attached it as a PDF file.

Ok, all this talk about sticking, I thought I'd post something I think and get everyone's response.

I think to really play lines and play them spontaneously you need to totally have your alternate sticking down. That's the most important sticking there is. For me all this double stroke stuff is cool, but the ultimate fluid line comes out of mastering alternate sticking.

Just my opinion and the way I teach. Give me your takes on this.

I think if you master alternate sticking and alternate sticking on C maj, that then you can start switching things up.

finally had some time to set up the mikes ....

enjoy

Ofcourse we've done a few other things as well, such as adding a pickup system, powdercoating the tubes into black, and add a new black scratch resistant coating on the keybed.

It has a comfortable semi-wide pedal.

and gets its' stability ofcourse partly from the way we brace the frame.

The frame ofcourse is height adjustable.

We've restored and upgraded a great sounding M55 by among others putting it on our LW frame.
I hate to say, but this instrument turned out a killer instrument.
So much that we've decided to make this frame a standard M55 frame.
