It is, after all, a Van Morrison song. There's so much more to Morrison's music than Brown Eyed Girl. I love the way he phrases his words and the funk in his beats. Yeah, I tried to emulate that.

One thing that I have trouble with on arrangers is finding a style to go with a song like Crazy Love. Maybe that's why I get frustrated, because these things aren't really made for songs like that - and I like doing songs like that. Last night at band practice we tried to put together the Allman Brothers' Midnight Rider - no luck finding even a compromise style. I guess some might argue that you should just use the drum beats; that might be easier, but then I could have bought a drum machine.

Thanks for the compliment. If you're into driving into Wyandotte on the 21st, we'll be playing downtown for Third Friday agaiin from 6-9 pm.
