Oh, Ron... characters. It's tough being a character, I must say. Always love your videos.

Hi Ron, always loved that tune, really like that Ab7 at the end instead of the Bb7, I've been fooling around with that lV-7 bVll(7) sub for the ll V ,Thanks for the lesson...

I remember Freddie the Freeloader as one of Red Skelton's characters....predating the Miles Davis tune.

[@rondrotoskeyboardimprov9453]

Thanks Larry - I think that's been lost in the mists of history!

[@randyknisely8979]

Just caught a vidio on you tube called The Making of Kind Of Blue (reelblack) and they said Freddy Freeloader was a guy that was always trying to get in the club free, so Miles called him Freddy Freeloader...

[@nomennescio317]

is it a phrase of endearment or more derogatory?

[@randyknisely8979]

@@nomennescio317 good question, could be either one, all depends how one looks at it....
