Dear Kent,

Thank you very much for sharing your musical insights. I greatly appreciated them and will endeavour to implement them. I need all the help I can get.

Best,

It's been an interesting journey, and I have written a brief diary about how  I went about learning to solo.   The diary is not yet finished and neither is the journey, but I thought it might be of interest to teachers or others who wish to do what I did.  If you go the site below and click on the document "Dairy of an improvise+", it will come right up.
