No, that´s Sonny Payne

I don't usually document anything, but sometimes I want to find out how some of the things I play sound "from the outside", so I film or record them to get "a view from another angle." For example, I did this yesterday with a few phrases...:

No problem @Claymorexz , I didn't find it offensive, although I'm not sure you understand what I meant, in general terms, it's probably my bad English. It's a shame you don't dance, isn't it? :ROFLMAO: Best regards!

@Clamorexz, that´s very much a secondary subject in my comment. Anyway Mustang Sally (Wilson Picket) is about 110 bpm, and Walking in Memphis (Marc Cohn), has different tempos but it is about 127 bpm most of the time, and by Cher too, or slightly faster. You go dancing too? Anyway, not too...

I already did cruise ships in the Mediterranean in 1986. Jazz trio. Italy, France, Spain, North Africa intinerary.
