Just in between, by YourMove on 11/17/2007, 02:47:59

Long time no posting... Several reasons for this:

1) I was busy creating a website for learning the circle of fifths. Take a look at

http://www.circle-of-fifths.net

2) Summer was very busy with lots of friends visiting, so no time to play. Since 1st of October I'm practising regularly again. With a top of 11h 45min 2 weeks ago :)

3) It is hard to simultainously play, sing the notes, count and foot action to stay in rhythm, never did that before...

4) I wrote an e-mail to Oscar Peterson if I could get a personalised signed picture. He probably didn't answer himself, but I never got a nicer response and it should arrive in around 3 weeks. Already thinking about framing :)

Just a short in between message before I post another video. ~Jan
