  • @telios96

    thanks. but i'm not Spencer Doidge. but he does have a youtube channel at "gjfanatique". he also replied to this video (see below)

  • What memory leak? I didn't notice anything. Looked and sounded great to me.

  • @philipglaser

    thanks. It's at 2:50.

    Yours is the first comment in 8 months on this one. so double thanks

  • Questionb for you: which of these was easiest for you to learn? I'm struggling with Maple Leaf, but I have it smooth and sweet. I'll have it up to tempo soon. I'm wondering which I might try next and... welll...I'd like to do one in less than a year next time.

  • probably this one or 'heliotrope' was easiest. 'sunflower slow drag' is hard. 'gladiolus' which i never made it through is harder still.

see all

  • I love Fats Waller's tunes, but I find them all hard to play. He's such fun to watch in the videos we have, especially The Joint Is Jumpin'!

  • Oh no! Strike that! Mistake! I thought I was replying on my own page. Sorry about that!

  • That's an interesting idea. If I could get a flat fee from a publisher, I would do it. The way I saw it work, the publishers have to be looking for something to fill a slot in their catalog, then they hire somebody to write it. A friend advised me to take a flat fee, and that worked. When I took royalties instead on another book, they cheated me, and I never got diddly. Once I offered a major house another book. They said no, then did the same book themselves two years later.

  • Thanks so much for your reply. Heliotrope is on the agenda, now, for me to abuse it with my steel string OOO-18. -Mick
