  1. My mother-in-law has a man made pond in her garden and is probably a few feet deep. I just shoveled her driveway and probably made that pond a little deeper. Glad to hear that even though it was an unfortunate accident, it happened after the job and not before ... and am glad to hear that you're OK.
  2. I guess we could say the job was a ... wash? I guess from what you wrote, you didn't play the job ... ? Did you get paid? How exactly does this work? (At least the piano was intact. )
  3. I saw this at a Buddy Hackett page ... My wife said to me, I want to be cremated. I said, How about Tuesday?
  4. While looking up information regarding Bob Hope I came across the following which I thought funny and classic ... From Wiki .... On July 27, 2003, Bob Hope died at his home in Toluca Lake at 9:28 p.m. According to one of Hope's daughters, when asked on his deathbed where he wanted to be buried, he told his wife, "Surprise me."
  5. It's been a while since anything has been added and I thought I'd add an oldie ... and perhaps, a moldy. Sweet Lorraine
  6. SK, I enjoyed that! It's good to have you back, we haven't seen you in a while.
  7. I just listened to Darn That Dream. I really enjoyed listening to that - very nicely done!
  8. Dave Ferris, for the longest time I had problems with YouTube; I'd almost always receive the 'video does not exist' message. I researched the problem and went through the same thing as you with installing Java Script/Adobe Flash 9 (or whatever it was) and I still had a problem. I had that problem for months. All at once, the problem went away and I attribute that to a Windows Update though I have no proof of that. Just a thought.
  9. Leon, when you work jobs what kind of music do you play?
  10. I agree, that is amazing playing! Leon, I hope you contribute more tunes to this thread. Welcome!
  11. Dave Ferris, that is a very, very nice reharm! I play that tune but nowhere near the reharm you've done.
  12. Yea, I'm I'm with Linwood - a very brave first post and done well! When reharmonizing a song, are there certain guidelines that you follow? There are simple little tricks that I use. I'll take a look at where I want a certain note in the melody to end harmonically on. Let's say I want the fifth note of the melody to have some kind of 'C' chord. I'll work backwards from there. The fourth note of the melody will have some kind of 'G' chord, the third note of the melody will have some kind of 'D' chord ... and so on. Sometimes you can force things through, sometimes not. ... or I'll approach the 'fifth' note of the melody (in this example) using chromatically ascending or descending chords. If I wanted a 'C' type chord on the fifth note of the melody, the fourth note will 'see' some kind of 'Db' chord ... and so on ..... or I'll approach it from a 1/2 step below. ... or I'll use the same exact voicing using parallel (block) chords. Each melody note will be, for example, the +11 of a chord and I'll use the same exact voicing for every melody note. (You can't do this for too long, say, four of five melody notes.) Anytime I see a dominant 7th chord I break it up into a ii7 - V7. That alone doubles your chords and helps to move things along. If I see a minor iv chord, I'll think a bVII chord ... and so on. Before I reharmonize anything I simply play just the melody and listen. These 'tricks' can be worked on systematically.
  13. Mo 'Wurst, would it be possible to play it slower. I have more time to waste than most.
