Thanks guys, but I'm one of those guys that can't sing but thinks they know how the song SHOULD go if they COULD sing (Oscar Peterson and Les McCann come to mind). I forgot to mention, the brass is PA1x (a patch called 'horns' which I keep going back to, despite all the other choices I have). The drum pattern was a simple 4 bar pattern on the DM10 augmented by me in real time using the kit - I'm so proud . The changes were just made up on the spot and are totally unrelated to that song. I just picked the first blues tune I could think of that would fit a 8 bar pattern and force-fed it through the changes (which I had already put down). I actually know the correct changes for that tune, my father used to sing it 50 years ago (he couldn't sing either ). For me, it's all about the 'feel' and the rhythm, especially the rhythm. I love tunes that have that 'in the pocket' feel.
