Hi!

We're kinda new here ( almost a week...woohoo!). We're still checking out the site and the music.

That's some fantastic jazz! I'm (Al) a guitarist and dabble in jazz from time to time. love the tone and touch. I particularly likes the part from 2:26 to about 2:40...sweet!

We both loved it and will be back for more from you every chance we get. Have a great 2014.

Al & Di

Whoa Mario!

I don't get compliments like that too often. But, as a fellow guitar player, I had a feelin' you'd dig it. Thank, man.

Hi Janice and Bud,

You know, I have this recurring dream about getting my thumb caught in a car door. It might have come from the great jazz guitarist, Jim Hall who, sadly, died last week: When Jim first heard Wes Montgomery he gave an interview saying, jokingly of course, that he hoped Wes would get his thumb caught in a car door. Shivers!

And, thank you for your kind words.

Dean

I did not know this. A really sad moment for the music. Jim Hall has certainly been one of the greatest guitarists in jazz history. He has left a wonderful work to remember forever.

Adios Maestro.

Rafa, mi amigo,

So good to hear from you again! Hope you are well and enjoyed a peaceful and happy Christmas.

Yeah, it was sad to hear about the passing of Jim. He played with such taste and intelligence. All of these guys that we grew up with, Wes, Grant Green, Jim Hall, Joe Pass, Barney Kessel - to say nothing of Les Paul - are gone. Pat Martino is getting on in years but he still has some of the most wicked licks in the business.

I'm glad you liked Senor Thumbs, but - que Dios me ayude - I'm no Maestro. But, just the idea is such a profound compliment. Thank you, Rafa.

Hi Tom,

Lately I've been goin' around wearing on my right hand something called The Ov Glove. It's for picking up red hot skillets or working at the BBQ, but the way my thumb feels, I need it just for picking up a cup of coffee!

But I sure am glad you liked the tune. Makes it more bearable.

Dean
