Caravan - Duke Ellington & Juan TIzol

When in high school, we played this in "stage band". They called it stage band because jazz was still a bad word in education. Stage band was extracurricular.

Break = Intermission

When playing at the 4 O'Clock club in Ft Lauderdale many years ago, there were two bands. At break time we would play Intermission Riff by Stan Kenton and when the guitar player for the other band would pick up his guitar, the other would stop and take his break, same for the other players. It was fun, and the audience was impressed.

That's another strike against you Bob. ?

(Sounds like those pin heads could use a reset! ? )

Yeah, but I'm having a ball!!!

Little Cloud – The Incredible String Band

Back in the days when James Brown was still a blues singer, and before he moved on to funk. It's from a live show, and his control of the audience is excellent. In fact, the entire album is great.

Lost Someone - James Brown

Sheer Heart Attack - Queen

Over My Head - Fleetwood Mac

Kiss? Get ready and Pucker Up Buttercup - Junior Walker & The All-Stars

There's more than 3 chords?

I'm an advanced player, I learned there are actually 4 chords: C, Am, F, and G

But the F is really hard to play.

This is the one I have in my 'foreign' collection, but it won't link

It's a fun song with a nice groove.

Now there's a guy willing to toot his own horn! 

I guess I toot my own big horn
I toot it in the early morn

Sometimes I toot it very loud
Especially in a big crowd

I toot it when I'm all alone
I mostly toot it when I'm home

I toot all day and I just might
Toot my horn into the night

I toot it when I'm feeling blue
I toot it when I'm happy too

My neighbors think I'm very bad
I think music must make them sad

A Sunday Kind Of Love - Etta James

(First recorded by Claude Thornhill and his Orchestra, but I like Etta's take on it)

Arizona - Mark Lindsay

I Don't Stand A Ghost Of A Chance With You - Diana Krall

It's a standard, done by many, but I like Diana's singing and piano playing.
