Absolutely, mate.

His transcriptions are super accurate and detailed. I used his "Ruby" transcription for my little project. You'll see he's got a few other songs from that album and further down the page quite a few Steely Dan transcriptions which I've played through, and they're right on the money, too.
Awesome thanks !
Maxine - love that tune
Babylon sisters - classic. Some of the best sounding keys out there.
New frontier - makes me smile every time I hear that keyboard/bass intro.
Sharon O'Neil classic for sure

I could sight read at school, and played in the local brass bands. before thatcher closed all the coal mines.
I didn't really want to play in a 'colliery band' after that.

There used to be a pride on miners day, we'd march through the villages up to Durham Moor with everyone cheering us on, a pint in each village, I was underage but they knew but I was in the band!

And ending up at the gala, ferris wheels and whirligigs. So many sights, so much laughter and fun :)

I remember the first miners gala after there were no mines left open. At least it was a wake, I would have danced on her grave.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Slowly digesting my way thru "All about Music Theory" by Mark Harrison. I thought i was learning something but then looking at those score prescriptions it is all Mr Gobbel D. Gook for me.

Great respect for yous dudes who can just play that while sight reading.
I need to teach you a few rules of chord theory. It's all maths. Easy so long as you can count to 8

Sorry convoluted thinking. I recall seeing a post very similar (almost like copy and paste) not so long ago about miners. I thought it was Molly's.... :roll: :oops: :wtf:
