But if I get a couple of thousand people from different countries and religions together these days, where left and right, black and white don´t make people yell at each other ( cause it´s just describing the thing in front of them which makes music) then this is my little contribution. Ah...and you learn Blues, too! :-)

    My jazz piano teacher is starting me off on blues improvisation using the Minor blues scale and the major blues scale. Because I'm very new at it, I'm finding that the hardest part for me right now is keeping track of what measure I'm in while I'm improvising. So trying to keep 4/4 time by keeping four beats to the measure and not accidentally 5! I'm trying to use the chords in my left hand to help with that, but it's like multitasking for me. With practice I'm sure it will get easier.
