Good Distractions

I was invited by my good friend Bo to join him in an acoustic samba session. So, instead of laying out the songs and so on for the next recording of songs I have written, I broke out the fake books, downloaded a few tunes on Bo's list, and started back to thinking in keys, modes, major sevenths, and so on. Actually, I was thinking that way a few weeks back, including watching a Joe Pass video while pumping on the elliptical trainer. So it is a distraction from one task at hand, but it may also be a priming of the pump. Who knows. maybe there will be a few different things coming out of the studio in 2007.
