I really enjoyed this, and I watched it all the way through. I noticed some little variances in the repetitions, and I so admire your "chops"...I could never get through any piece of this length without totally flubbing it up!! Great work!

HI Peter, fingers seem to be settling very slowly so hopefully they'll get back to some king of normality before I get too old to lift the damned box up lol

Graham,
Lively with lots of zing and slither from those dancing fingers; concentration but no pain showing on your face.
I like your midnight inspirations!

I absolutely love this, Graham! I wouldn't it wobbly fingers, I called it flying fingers. You make it seem to effortless. I appreciate you making videos of your songs, so we can see you in action. Again, great song.

Graham,
Fun tune & live playing! Probably could make a child party dance tune. I do wish backing would be heard louder, but I do understand it is a live scenario. Thank you for sharing.

We both have arthritis in our hands and, man, that makes what you are doing even more amazing to us. You were all over that box and, as others have said, the fingers were flying!

Very cool to listen to and watch.

Kudos!

Very well played, Graham. As others have said, dancing and flying seem more fitting descriptions for those fingers than wobbly.
Regards,
Leon

Fun tune!

As someone who couldn't memorize a tune to save his life, it's nice to see music being made the "old fashion" way. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
