One of those consists of trading the hand for the foot on the slide sometimes to end up a gig. Always a crowd pleaser. Don’t mind putting on a little show, as we spend most of our 1.5 hr concerts making sure we give the audience some pretty good Jazz. In fact, I’ve had fans get angry when I don’t do it! :><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>That, of course, when we were actually giving concerts. Nothing at all since last March due to the virus. No clubs are open, nor do they look like they will be able to open soon. Still, I get the horn out every afternoon and spend some time on the horn. Gotta have the chops in shape for when we DO go back to playing together live.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZDfPMhrZrk">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZDfPMhrZrk</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>(Note: for those of you on the list who don’t have your sight, I donīt play out of tune when Iīm playing with my hand, but 1<sup>st</sup>. position on the slide can be nasty when using a 79 yr old leg!)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Keep well everybody, Jim <o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
