I found this transcription of a taped, home interview with Bill Evans I found fascinating.
Did a search and did not see it on this site so thought I would share!

What you need is a set of flexible pressure sensors worn like gloves. That way you can provide a profile of the pressure over time and catch all kinds of nuances in the action. Probably kind of expensive tho. . . .

That was very cool. Thanks for posting!

When I was younger I thought the song "Eminence Front" (Pete Townshend - The Who) was about a new dance: "The M & M strut"

Thanks, Linwood, that made my day!

I play it in both Eb and E (for a female singer who has trouble reaching the low notes). I try to emulate Stevie's flat finger, percussive style too, cause it sounds closer to the original (in a way people actually notice). It is significantly easier to do on the higher, black keys. Not that Stevie wasn't a bad-ass. Just sayin.

Thanks for bumping this gem - That new "tab" from Zeronyne made me laugh so hard my stomach hurts!

Wow, it's been fascinating reading about all of you and your backgrounds. Guess I should do my part - There was one or two "introductions" threads in the past, but it's been a while.
My name is Mark Cuddihy and I live outside Detroit, MI. I am an engineering supervisor at a major automobile manufacture who shall remain unnamed but is currently going through some tough times.
I've been playing keyboards since grade 2, and I am now 43. I have managed to learn in spite of myself! I have a couple of independant CDs out, but nothing of commercial consequence. Lately I have been concentrating on playing out, since it is a LOT more fun than studio work, and I can actually earn enough money at it to justify the late nights to my wife. My main band now is Soul Provider, although I share keyboard duties with another excellent keyboard player, who was in the band before me so he is in all the promotional materials
But he's a really cool guy and it's been working out well splitting those weekday 10pm - 2am gigs between us. Maybe that's another thread - how many people do or have split keyboard duties with someone else?I am an anti-equipment junkie, (They made the White Album with an 8-track!!) but I have the basics I need:
Yamaha S80
Korg Triton
Roland JV-2080
Fender Rhodes
Hammond M100
Leslie 760 (stays in my studio)
Kawai baby grand
I also tinker with keyboard amps. Electrical engineering is totally different now than when I went to school. Ever try to debug an integrated circuit? I'm from the old analog school so I enjoy messing around with the old discrete electronics.
I really enjoy the forum and I have been around for some time now, although I am only a sporadic poster.
Keep up the good work, Dave. It's a cool place to be!

Hey,
If you have some time, check out my latest work at http://www.download.com/dirtyrubberduck
I had a number of people record guitars/bass/drums for my tunes and mixed them all together in Sonar. It was a labor of love completed over about 2 years. I was pretty happy with the results, now I just need some help with the marketing part of the recording deal!
I'd be interested in hearing the thoughts of fellow musicians - both good and ugly.
Thanks!

You're Welcome!
Kind of Blue was my first Jazz album, I still love to listen to it. The way Bill Evans was brought into the band to play the modal music style, replacing Wynton Kelly and becoming a huge influence on jazz is also worth a read. Great jazz history!
