Good Evening, Tony:

The sun has set and nightfall isn't far away here in the UK. We've had a sunny, albeit coldish day. Time to make one of my several daily "check-ins" on our forum.

You said it would be great if we could keep this thread going. As you will have read in my earlier post, I too, thought it would be nice if we could share the chord progressions of our favorite intros and endings. I received an e-mail from Bebop and he encouraged me to keep the chord thing going. I've given some preliminary thought to it and decided I will likely start two threads. One will be discussing chord voicings and the other chord substitutions. I don't think there are any copyrite considerations involved here because we are not stealing original material such as melodies. I'm sure chords are universal or common property in terms of their voicings, substitutions, and progressions. If there is enough interest in such threads, I will assemble some material and post it to get the ball rolling, then rely on the rest of our family to particpate and contribute. Of course I will be an active particpant as well.

I'll wait to hear more from all of you concerning this. That doesn't mean that I expect overwhelming demand or support. Just a few of us who are genuinely interested in learning more about our music are enough to keep things rolling along. Let me know your wishes.

Now to your music, Tony. For some reason I had dropped out of Bebop's KN6000 mailing list and did not receive a copy of your music. Bebop rectified that last night and your music is playing as I write. Great stuff! It will give me lots of pleasure from now on. "All the Things You Are" is one of my favorites, and as is so often the case, a song brings back special memories of yesteryear. I had a buddy in my late high school and after high school days. He had a super tenor voice. That song was one he sang so well and received countless requests for.

That's it from me for the moment, so take care, Tony. Happy playing!

Chuck
