A little Duke for Friday night. Performance is no great shakes, but the song is strong enough to survive it.

Working on this part of “Skating” tonight. It’s been the bit I struggle with for years now. This year it’s come easier, and I’ve made a lot of progress, but it’s still got a long way to go before it sounds as smooth and clean as it should.

When you forget that Joel McCrea is going to be in a movie you’re watching.

At one point I knew and could play the first solo from “Linus and Lucy.” At another point I knew and could play the second. Never have I known both at once; now I know neither.

Starting the relearning process with the first one.

And of course if I’m working on “Skating,” I end up also working on “Linus and Lucy.” This one ends abruptly because Kaiju is about to enter the piano.
