    Lynden, You are so correct about keeping it simple. You don't have to play like a speeding locomotive to sound good. Slow down and enjoy the feel of the music. This is why I cannot listen to Chad L Browns playing. He plays way too fast and it gets ahead of my ears and its aggravating. I've walked out of his concerts because of it too. It does not matter how good you are technically on the horn, if you lose your audiences ears its all for nothing. Please keep up the great blues licks. A cool B minor lick would be awesome. Best regards. Travis.
