Ya....Whata Night..MUSIC Just Makes Everything Better

Bartlett rehearsing, by J.A. Rose-Bartlett cc

Music here...there and everywhere. We're working up more tunes...old favorites with some new tunes thrown in for good measure. WOW....how can life get any better than that? Well, it can't that's all.
pause...Oh Boy....I'm just itching to say more...BUT, I promised to be good. BUMMER.
Anyway, I can tell ya 'bout the very cool music stuff that my hubby, Steve BARTLETT ON BASS and I have been doing lately and what's on the horizon, or coming up. [just remember...that this is NOT all that's coming up....there's even MORE...: > D...yeah, but, I promised to not say anything 'til, it's all ready,] You know...now that I really think 'bout what I've done. I'll NEVER do THAT again...and, THAT's a promise....SMILE, there, I'll fix that right now. 'Just tell me, will ya, how can anyone expect ME to keep my mouth shut?.. just ain't fair, is it?' See, I'm right...'Naw-nee, Naw-nee, Naw-nee [spell]'. Jan.
O.K.....Now that I've taking care of THAT bit of nasty business...let's get onto the fun stuff...MUSIC.
Here's video links to some of the tunes that BARTLETT and I are doing...anyway, we both have headphones on, I'm doing the easy part...finding the tunes. He's learning them. Just amazes me how he does that...musicians can hear a pin drop....for real. Just proving, once again, that ALL musicians are geniuses.
NOW, I'll go find those video links and practice keeping quiet. WOW...Amazing, I hear NOTHING, I've never experienced this before. sounds funny. Jan
