Just got word from the respected author, that The Jazz Guitarists book has been completed. It'll be published next fall.
Includes 340 guitarists. I'm honored to be included as a Stick player.

OK then (thinking of Wes, Pat and Steve)
After reading the announcement of the Jazz Book coming up -

I sit nibbling at my Scrambled Eggs and begin to Tune Up my Rosewood Grand. I have a Compulsion to Look Ahead to my growing tune list in my continuing musical Travels on this fragile planet.

I Don't Know Why but I unconsciously hit a kerchunk as I sip my morning Java and
Long Before the cup's empty I start improvising on some little Minor Thing that just seemed to pop out of my fingers.

On The Way Up to my highest frets the melody starts Traveling Fast - moving in a cool Tap Dance with my other hand. Suddenly, I'm Into The Dream world of improv - that Story Within The Story coming from who knows where - I Wish I knew.

Now there's sweet Music In The Air and my smiling neighbors are peaking out of their windows with cups in hand (Great neighbors!).

Anyway - Movin' Along with my improv I realize I have More Travels in front of me on my journey to explore jazz. Looking forward to the book, Steve.
