So here's a very early attempt on the form of this tune. I haven't really tried yet to learn the melody, partly because I find I learn melodies better once I have the underlying form in hand. I'm always open to hearing constructive criticism and good advice from players, and you guys are seriously ALL players. It's kind of amazing to me that we haven't had people dropping in and opining who haven't contributed. That's wonderful, IMO. I really only care what other players think on the formative level. Of course I care what listeners think and feel, but "player-ly" advice from others working on the same tune is a great gift.

Good god, man, you don't need lessons! That's one of the best versions here! Enough of this self-deprecating stuff! Heavens to Betsy :-)

Lawson, I honestly think your strongest take in these last few weeks.
See? You gotta go for it!
WWPCD?

Lawson,
It must be the hat...
I've got one on order, I like the feather:
Joking aside, that was some quality and controlled playing on your part!

I need to learn to hold back the blues phrases and use them for better effect. You really don't fall into blues licks, but keep developing melodic ideas.

Out in the world, I usually wear a fedora. After all, I actually am a real archaeologist!

We all are kind of eccentric, opinionated, sometimes contrarian people here, but there's no need to just keep picking on one person. It's rather obvious, and it's embarrassing as well... for you. You are an established player with an international audience. You need to act more like a statesman. That's just my view, of course. But I hate to see someone bullied and picked on.
