"Lovely Weather, Heather"

is the title of a tune I wrote. I am fortunate enough to have a student who is a music production major, who, knowing I have an interest in recording music, offered me some studio time. About a month ago I recorded a couple of tracks: piano, bass and drums. I played piano and bass and collaborated with a great young drummer, Matt. On Sunday, we put the saxes on the top.

I played bari, that's Brian on alto, and Tyler on tenor.


The tune has a 40-bar structure. We played three choruses. Statement of theme, tenor sax solo, restatement of theme. Tyler was cookin.'



I would like to thank Aaron, for the studio time; Brian, for helping out in the studio and blowing alto, and Tyler, for coming down the mountain to play some saxophone.



Listen to Lovely Weather, Heather.

Unknown Hinson changes a guitar string during his cover of "Manic Depression."

I review the show over at my wordy word site.
