Thank you, Chas. I almost didn't post, but your uploading inspired me to bite the bullet and upload something myself.

You have those licks for organ jazz at a level I can only dream of...and, it's not just a matter of having the licks, but you also have to know where they belong, and where they don't belong.

You've got "the touch" as I call it...that knack of great phrasing, timing and the licks too.

I'm pretty lucky I was able to get the Tyros4, as I fell in love with it's SA2 Sax sounds immediately. The sounds certainly help the player to get the most expression from them. It's safe to say I find they make me try harder...they definitely inspire.

I don't like overdubbing the melody afterwards as I find my left hand anchors me and that helps me find the little "extra" notes to embellish the lead line.

You certainly can play Chas, and I was very pleased to see you post something. If we here on SZ let our music do most of the talking, we'd certainly avoid a lot of other pitfalls that sometimes get us at odds with each other.

Seeing TonyMads post was also really nice. We all each have a story to tell with our playing, and stories to tell about our playing as well.

When somebody posts their work, I automatically feel I know them so much better than before, and I feel good knowing they want to share their feeling about music with me, and the rest on SZ.

Our music and love of it, is what's common with all us musicians, Chas, and no one will ever understand us better than another player.

I hope we see more of your tunes, and more by others here, and maybe, just maybe, we can inspire Russ to put up a tune or three. wink

Thanks again for your nice comments.

Ian
