Great, and wise, advice by Jimmy, for sure.

Hey, it's easy to play any musical instrument: all you have to do is touch the right key at the right time and the instrument will play itself. wink

I think Tony cares a lot for Jimmy Smith...that's why he imitates him.

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.

That's why Tony is often referred to as the "Jimmy Smith sound-alike".

Nothing wrong with that, but it would be more impressive, at least to me, if Tony had developed a style all his own...the "Tony Monaco style".

But, I guess that's why there are "Jimmy Smith's" in this world.
