Now ML, don't give up so fast :wink:

I was planning on getting back here and telling you that I think it's a fine idea!

I personally have to be realistic - I am overbooked until the middle of May. Maybe give it a while longer and some others will come out of the woodwork who would like to participate.

On the whole, I think your efforts to bring the discussion into the realm of actual musical examples and music making is extremely important.

So don't give up yet - maybe something can happen here!!!

Thanks,

C natural

ML,

BTW, the first 3 measures of your tune here...

| E- | A7#9 | F Maj |

and of course, again at letter A...

| G- | C7 | AbMaj |

I think of as the "Nita" progression. :)

Do you know what I mean?

Good stuff.

George Russell's tune Nita in the 1959 book has this progression. (OK, I'm sure it's not unique to these 2 tunes, but it did remind me of Nita...)

As far as writing, I am thinking that I'm game, but that I may not have time till summer.

Perhaps that's not soon enough, but... that's where I'm at!!! I'd do it right now if I could.

I'd like to be a member of Bb's book club too...

If there are any other takers, by all means don't wait up, and I'll catch y'all on the next round! OR if not....

Summer project?

(8 children!!! :shock: :) )
