Thanx all for listening and the extremely nice comments that I will pass on to JonD.

Noel, yes that is an augmented 5th, I have been known to use them a lot! One thing I do is to add the augmented 5th to a 7th chord, for instance three beats of G7, one beat of G+7 then to a C. Another is a major chord, + chord, 6th chord followed by a 7th chord, for example G, G+, G6, G7 then a C. This sounds great on a guitar!

Tommyad - yes things are starting to calm down. Just 6.5 weeks of driving my wife to the hospital for radiation treatments. The flute is an instrument that I really like. Herbie Mann's "Memphis Underground" is one of my favorites. All I try to do is to emulate what I hear from my albums.

Floyd - JonD is an old friend. We lost track of each other for about 50 years; we were in competing bands back in the early 60's! We ran into each other a couple of years ago and decided to join forces and make some music; it was tough for him at the start because of many years of just playing solo in his room. He has come a long way in a very short time. He knew nothing about making music on a computer until he came over. He bought my old music computer with an old DAW on it but he is talking about getting a new computer and BiaB.

Charlie - once you get into MIDI things start to gel and in no time you will be doing what I am doing. Anytime you need help please feel free to contact me.

Rob -thanx. We are getting there one day at a time.

I'm no longer allowed to go caroling at the psych hospital.
I guess Do You Hear What I Hear was a bad song choice!
