I love it Roy. Like me learning to sing. I took up singing lessons 8 months ago and sang my first solo in front of an audience of 300 in late November. Arlene looked a lot more relaxed than I felt.
That’s fantastic Ted. Not in a fantasy way (as Hitch would say about that word) but in a fuckin’ great way my friend. Just the first step on a musical journey that will be as enjoyable and as long you wanna make it. It’s only your choice, that’s the way it works. I used to be nervous when I first started so you’re not alone, every musician knows those feelings. Experience is what you get the second after you actually need it. If only someone had told me when I started that every gig is most probably gonna turn out great so long as I bring at least one thing to the table, even if it’s just enthusiasm while I learn as I go. So you go girlfriend!
Steve's "George M. Cohan" comment referred to the three first notes of "Over There" -- based on a bugle call. On the trombone too, those "natural" intervals come from harmonic overtones of the pedal or fundamental note, when the slide is in its fully closed position.
