Thanks for the suggestion Linwood , I felt it was a little muddy also, but I just used the organ on garageband, The recording was areal eye opener on how to improve my organ playing . I could see lots of areas that needed work, and lots of rythym and timing issues. Its a basic 1-6-2-5. I"m a novice trying to fiqure out the organ and get tones to sound better. I have a ways to go but then again,I couldn't even solo in the right hand and play left hand chords a year ago F13 /D7#9 / G7 #5/ C7#9 LH Eb A D F# C F F B Eb E Bb Eb

Okay here is a rough draft of a jazz organ type song I wrote for my band ,It is not a mastered recording It has afew rough spots, but it got the idea across to my mates Greg on the Web

Midlife :thu:thanks for the laugh

But how do we prove that the real problem with women is that they have all the http://www.timetunnelmusic.com/Emoticons/cattrim2.jpg ? Some brave soul actually shaved that cat I tried to give my cat a pill and nearly got shredded.

[font:Comic Sans MS] Jazz Mathmatics[/font] 1. If x is the number of chord changes in a tune, and y is the tempo at which it is played, then xy = factor by which a guitarist will turn down his amp. 2. # (notes/measure played by a saxophonist on a ballad) is proportional to # (drinks he has consumed). 3. 4 + 4.125 + 4 + 3.875 + 4 + 4.667 + 4 + (x, where x is unknown) = 1 chorus trading with the drummer. 4. (2 + 5 + 1) x (# of freshman college jazz students, internationally) = Annual income of Jamie Abersold, in dollars. 5. Infinity = (3 + 6 + 2 + 5) + (3 + 6 + 2 + 5) + (3 + 6 + 2 + 5) .... 6. 5/4 + 7/4 + 11/4 = drummer's gig. 7. If (# of drinks consumed, per musician) > (# of drinks comped by club), then unrest will prevail unless (cost per drink) < 1/20 (pay for gig). 8. 1 up tempo tune + 1 rushing drummer + x (double lattes) = x (fights among horn players to solo first). 9. 1 ballad + 1 dragging drummer + x(Percocets) = 1 cleared house, where x is proportional to the speed at which the room empties. 10. 2 (diddles) = paradiddle 11. Jam session + eighth -note rest = missed opportunity. 12. Jam session + (quarter note rest or greater) = band on break. 13. {(New + York) squared - (NewNew + YorkYork + YorkNew) + New York + 2(Ride + Sally) - Sally} divided by (less than five seconds) = medley from hell. 14. (1/vocalist's experience in years) x (#number of beats per measure) x 32 = # of unintended modulations + skipped beats, per chorus. 15. If x = piano's deviance from being in tune, y volume level of drummer, z = length of gig, and d = number of drinks consumed by pianist on break, then (d) (xyz/pay of the gig in dollars) predicts the probability of pianist urinating in the instrument. 16. "Vow of Poverty" theorem: If # people in audience < # of musicians on bandstand, then pay per musician < one individual cover charge. 17. "Bass" theorem: A musician's IQ is inversely proportional to the size of his/her instrument, and directly related to the register of the instrument. 18. "Rule of One" theorem: (Universe of jazz vocalists) v (# of jazz vocalists who sing " Summertime") = 1 = rank of "Summertime" among tunes most despised by instrumentalists. 19. "Devil's Music" theorem: Smooth Jazz = square root of all evil. 20. "Two Americas" Buffet theorem: Fresh salmon/flaccid spanakopita + prime rib/limp egg rolls + jumbo shrimp/soggy chicken fingers = high society gig/Elks club gig. 21. How much should a gig pay, based on the following conditions: drive 90 miles outside of town through pouring rain; set up two hours in advance; load in through slimy kitchen accessed by treacherous outdoor staircase; and play four hours of continuous crappy dance favorites for drunk rich people? Would you take it for ½ that much? After you bid on the above gig for 1/3 your worth, a college student offers to play the same gig for ½ as much. You are 12 times as good as him, but ½ as good -looking. The client has a tin ear. Who will get the job? Why do you bother practicing? 22. If a trumpet player counts off a tune in 4/4 time at mm = 180, and the drummer slows it down at a constant rate of deceleration over 8 measures to mm = 150, does the pianist still suck? 23. If a bassist plays a root, a pianist superimposes a major seventh chord built on the fifth, and a saxophonist plays the 13th, will attractive women notice? Will the drummer? 24. If a successful attorney earns 3x as much as a successful musician, but the musician believes his work is 4x as fulfilling, who actually has larger genetalia? 25. Your trio is set up in a perfect equilateral triangle. A singer sets up exactly in the middle. Will the three of you be divided against the singer or against one another? 26. If (% of Americans who like jazz) = (% of Americans who like chain saw sculptures), what is America's most important indigenous art form?

Dear Tech Support: Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3, Football 5.0, Hunting and Fishing 7.5, and Racing 3.6 I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favourite applications. I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the uninstall doesn't work on Wife 1.0. Please help! Thanks, Troubled User. (KEEP READING) _____________________________________ REPLY: Dear Troubled User: This is a very common problem that men complain about. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0, thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING!!! It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 7.0. It is impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed to not allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under Warnings-Alimony-Child Support. I recommend that you keep Wife1.0 and work on improving the situation. I suggest installing the background application "Yes Dear" to alleviate software augmentation. The best course of action is to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway. Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance.Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean and Sweep 3.0, Cook It 1.5 and Do Bills 4.2. However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program Nag Nag 9.5. Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0 ! WARNING!!! DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3. This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system. Best of luck, Tech Support

Steve ,the sax player sent me the husband store about a month ago ,its a good one . Okay ,in honor of March Madness Coach Kommercial

Okay,its time to expose myself for the fraud I really am . The band I'm playing with put up a one page site and some demos. Here are some covers, Of Zoot Suit Riot, Get Down Tonight, and Vehicle. I played some basic keys on the the first two and covered the trumpets on Vehicle and sang backing vocals . Can I use the "I'm just a guitar player who started to learn keys 5 years ago" excuse at least one more time Paul Micheal Band Don't ask me about the dress code Greg

Very nice Cydonia, I could only dream of playing ragtime or stride Excellent, Greg

Welcome Cydonia, Nice of you to introduce yourself I've traveled alot in Ontario, New Brunswick ,and Nova Scotia but I never have been in Quebec .

Well here is my story and I'm sticking to it My name is Greg Lawson, I have played guitar since I was 9 . I'm now 45. After playing lead guitar in bands I decided I wanted to learn more on the keys. My son had taken off on our Yamaha P-200 and inspired me. At first it was a little slow but after about 5 yrs ,I think I have a good solid base of skills. I like funky retro keys and spent most of my time learning from. Richard Tee , Micheal Macdonald, Billy Preston, Steely Dan ,Herbie Hancock and Joe Sample, Stevie Wonder, to name a few. I finally got enough courage to try out as a keyboardist for dance band and actually got the job. I was even more suprised to learn I had got the job over two other keyboard players. I really love the keys, My guitar has suffered,but I feel I can do so much more with the keys . I hope to learn from the all the experience that is part of the forum I currently play a Yamaha P200 ,and a YPP50 with a Motif Rack. :)Greg
