So more songs on the Feel Alright mix tape than I would have expected, turn out to be fun to play along with, even for a group with talents as strictly limited as myself, Bob and Greg -- we were listening to it this afternoon and of course the fast jazz is just nice for listening, and of course the rock-ish tunes like "Ophelia" and "Caldonia" and "It's Alright With Me" were easy to play along with -- but there were a couple of surprises too, like "Arpay" which Greg and I did pretty nicely I thought -- a harmonica and pan pipes have something in common -- and "Boogie-Woogie Blues"; and we all jammed pretty nicely on "The Museum of Sex".

We also did some nice stuff on our own, without the tape -- great version of "Ophelia" after we stopped listening, "Dock of the Bay" with this weird-but-appealing sort of accidental key change on the break, "Mr. Spaceman".

ok, so I downloaded the Feel Alright Mix and am, so far, enjoying it... that's after listening to the 1st track "Museum of Sex".

oops, spoke too soon... Blue Smoke (track 2) now playing and it is having the desired (intended?) effect. definitely making me feel upbeat - despite the late hour.

more later...

Cool! Was "enjoying it..." intended to incorporate "...but well, it's not really lifting my spirits as advertised..."?
