It enhances the experience. I am going to try harder to learn this stuff.
Watch my head explode….lol

Yes. the alternative does indeed suck, and is a sh-tty way to stumble thru life. Dr. Russell Meetze in Vero Beach, Fl. is one of the few that “gets it” when it comes to treating long-term opiate dependencs (oops, another secret). I was in pretty rough shape, but thanks to him, I’m alive and thriving.

How to Play Pipe Organ?. Mine was next to the Ethel Smith Method book!!
Last Saturday, I gave a lecture On Gospel music at Penn State. Came back yesterday (Sunday) to Richmond Va. where I am spending some time with a very special friend. On our way into twon she hipped me to the fact that there was a harmonica blowout at the Capital Ale House. I got to sit-in with Bob Corritore (Hell Yessss)and some other killer players. We did “Goin’ Down Slow” and I used those tenths on the I-IIm-IIIm-Flat IIIm walk. Those chords blend really nice and don’t step on the bass player.” They are definitely worth the struggle and sore fingers. Now go set your timer!!

Recently seen you on two Blues Cruises, down here in St Thomas wayyy before. Smokey and I had hoped you’d be getting better soon, the alternative sucking. Glad to know you are.
John
Hope BluesWax or Roger gets you on the next one down here in October.

So thanks – the Teddy Wilson 10ths again – I know I can! Or at least fake it. Happy Birthday for the end of the month.
