I haven't have a lot of time, and couldn't get the head down well enough (will keep at it, though) or really feel like I have the tune completely in hand, so here's just a quick chorus.
Listening to others now ...

TJ, I don't think the clock stopped on this one but I might have bought it in a cheap shop :-)

I'll be listening to your takes, and envying you for getting it done, but I think I'm going to hoist the white flag.

Here's another one... I had this unused Attila Zoller pickup hanging around so I decided to try it in my Guild. Seems cool sounding.

John, cool Scofield type tone. Nice chords in the solo!
Peterson your stuff sound good, everything is right in the changes.
It's a tough one for sure!

No idea how I played the head ok on this, it's a tough one on guitar and I was going to give up after 3 hopeless attempts. Then I had to go and do something else for half-an-hour, so when I came back I gave it one last try. I guess the break helped my concentration, and my hands had warmed up a bit.

A work in progress...

I spent some more time shedding the head today (I had a bad chart that I had spent too much time with, and wound up having to just get it off the Sco/Henderson recording by ear tonight). I've pretty much got it now, but no time to do any recording for the next couple of days.
Ron: good stuff on both takes, definitely mastered the changes.
Ragman: I didn't get to all of yours yet. So far I like the sort of bossa-ish vibe of the first one.
RPJ: Nice demo of the fingerings. I probably should have watched that before I shedded the head myself. The improv sounded good to me, though you've got this kind of barking overtone on your guitar that I'm not sure fits :-)
Peterson: Valiant efforts, and I feel your pain.
Trips: I think this one was really good. Your time was spot on, nailed the changes, came up with some good ideas. One of your best so far.
Graham: Yup, you got it.
