There was a period when I listened a lot to the great pianist Errol Garner. I loved Errol's sense of unpredictability, playfulness and overall adventure in his playing. Also, I loved his sense of relaxed and swinging time. His left hand kept the steady four to the bar pulse while the right hand was a little bit behind the beat. Here's my nod to Errol with his signature composition "Misty".

One of my favorite songs - "I Thought About You". Many great versions of this song from vocalists and instrumentalists.

I wish I'd had more time for a 2nd take, haha. Not terribly satisfied but getting closer to making music the way I'd like. This is a tough instrument!

Blow over the first 30-45sec or so, which is a bit of a personal message to her. (FWiW, this recording was done with my trusty and "high tech" i-phone!) :)

What about appearance/clothing on gigs???

Should we play crazy tempos/odd meter tunes???
