This wonderful, quirky tune by Earl Zindars has been a favorite of mine for over 50 years. I used to jam on this tune in the 70's and perform it with bassist Harvie S. Although I'd been playing it off and on I never was satisfied with my solo versions so I started working on it again about 3 days ago and finally, after 2 day of recording it, I came up with a version which I feel is moderately acceptable. It's hard not to try to sound like Bill Evans, who made the tune famous. I think there's quite a bit of me in this take. So, here goes.

Morgan transcribed me playing Joy Spring. Here it is! Mistakes and all :-)

It's from this version:

There is the link for this transcription. Now you can study a little John Piper.

This is wild! Shawn is dissing Philosophy with his vibes right next to him!!! I love it!

But I don't understand it! VW member Tristan is a Philosopher and probably gets all this!

I just love to hear all this talk with a vibraphone right next to him!
I have thought a lot about life with my vibes right next to me!
