That was the only one I found quickly. I listened to it and it's a good
jazz piece, probably older than most people know though. (1959)

What's the saying, if you're good it IS easy..   B)

RM>> And, as I said, I really only leaned one piece well on piano.
  >> I've played hundreds of pieces on guitar..

MP>I tried my hand at both over time... was never very good at either!  :D

At least you are consistent...   B)

I'm not as adventuristic as I was in the past. I have a sinus thing
these days which makes it almost impossible to sing anything that
requires any voice range so I tend to just pluck away at tunes while
watching TV in the evenings..
