| It's a real nice song Tatsu...I completly agree with you. It's a shame I can't read well your photos (paper)...too small for me. I read about your analysis and some aspects of it are not easy to understand...I know what you were facing in your analyse. I tried myself and sometimes the best solution ... |

| My favourite method for composing is simple; I shut up and listen. No instruments at hand, just listening to silence. Most of the times the music that then starts pouring into your mind is a good starting point. The challenge is to translate this "music inside the head" to arranging, choi... |

| The title could almost say "Good By Pork Pie Hat" 8-). I like how it weaves in and out of theme... `J` We are in the blues family here...lol. Maybe it's the ad lib style who gives that feeling because I was not thinking about Goodbye Pork Pie Hat...lol. For me it's a blues with "extr... |
