Notes
One of the highlights of my last weekend was on Saturday night…picture my fat ass sitting in my hot tub staring up at the most awesome full moon I have ever seen, with an ice cold Yingy sitting right next to me on a tall chair right beside the tub.

There it was in the wide open sky totally unobstructed by any trees or anything, just surrounded by slow moving clouds …it was like nature was putting on a show just for me

If you feel like Larry is putting on a show just for you, perhaps consider visiting the corporate tip jar:

Notes
A brief discussion on using triads over a single pedaling bass note to create "harmonic tension"

There have been many musical giants who have roamed the earth and conquered long before the time we are in now…we must always listen back and learn from those ancestors who learned/wrote and performed music before “the great distraction” took place.
