Welcome, Kevin Riley

"send away!"

"Please do not forget they have to breathe!"

"Fred, Always open to cleaning your scores! (Yes I am still around)"

"Have you thought of Harmonica?"

"Good luck with adding some jazz to your repertoire!"

"Chord alterations in jazz are often improvised to fit the situation, here are some suggestions that could be applied to what I posted…"
