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.

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.
