Thanks for answering my question! Lots of great advice in this podcast. Getting together enough to play a small gig is probably what I need to do. Along with arrangements, I’ve always wanted to incorporate improvisational parts into set arrangements.
Ben – thank you! I realize a “gig” may be a stretch, but think of it as the difference between shooting warm up baskets and “the game” so to speak.
Also, any feedback on improving the podcast is appreciated. I know it’s just 2 episodes…but ideas for what you’d want – well, lemme know! 🙂
