Spain sounds good right about now! It didn't quite reach freezing today here in NJ. Spain and Portugal are the only places I've ever been to outside of North America, and that was decades ago. A friend and I ended up living for a week in a pup tent in a little fishing village north of Porto. We were very low on cash. I didn't know about fado music, so I never checked it out, but a Gypsy jazz band here in the Philly area recently did a couple of fado songs, in 6/8 time.

@Jimmy Grant Nice performance! I use the same chords as youze guysez. I'm guessing there's little disagreement about the changes for that one. When I'm soloing on the B section, I play a Bm6 arpeggio over the E7 and Gm6 over A7 -- both hacks I got from a $35 Soundslice tutorial by Duved Dunayevsky.

@Rick Spence Another interesting idea from the Duved tutorial: With a 7th chord, try playing a diminished run that starts on the fourth (rather than the third) of the chord. I analyzed this and found pretty much none of the notes correspond, and on 7th chords in many parts of a progression, it doesn't sound right. But as an example, in "I'm Confessin' " in G, when you get to the E7 in the B section, try playing a diminished run that starts on A. I do this all the time on this song and think it sounds great 😁

Ah ... is it possible he was there and u missed him? That happened to me with Dario from Italy. We determined we'd been there the same year but never laid eyes on each other.

Jimmy and I figured this out: My first year at Django in June was 2013, when Rino van Hooijdonk was there. Jimmy's first year was 2014. Anyway, this gave me a pretext for reaching out to Rino, and he remembers me well! This is him when he returned in 2015 demonstrating something in a class, with me off camera playing rhythm. I asked him if it was OK to share it to YouTube and he said yes. Once in a while a prominent player would rather you not, so it never hurts to ask: Rino and Bob - YouTube

@Brandon Austin thanks, that link is what got me in.

@Michael Kaufman Same here ... no link. I'm gonna do something else at this point. I just get a blank calendar. Why not post a link to the Zoom session itself (or whatever it is).
