All the best,

Gary I'm fully aware of what ad lib means ... I often do it, but because of my limited music theory training I stick the the original chord structure and 'play off' the melody line ...
When someone 'takes off' on the chord structure, and it sounds bad, well then that's what it is - BAD ... I don't care if the person is OMB or a seasoned 'PRO' ...
Your response to Mel implied that you don't know if the chords are correct but that's fine because your audience doesn't know either, and when Donny answered that that was a "GREAT POST" I couldn't believe that those comments were coming from two people who made their living playing music !!! ...

Gary, check your PM ...
