Thought I would have to wait until I got home from a gig this afternoon but it was easy to do. I know it was off topic but thought I was writing only to Colin until I sent the email. Anyway, below is a link to my public folder with a slow version of So What. It's from the album Kind of Blue. Then there are a couple of surprises after that.

This is very OT, but you brought up jazz, so here goes. I'm looking for what I believe to be the original version of Miles Davis's "So What." I have a couple of versions, but they're faster than I remember. Granted, one of them is live and that's where good ole improv comes in. However, John, KD8PC, put what we thought was the original version from the album "Autumn Leaves" in our dropbox folder, but it was also very fast. I remember it being much slower. If you know which version I'm speaking of, could you please either e-mail it to me, or if you have dropbox put it in the public folder. Thanks in advance. 73 Aimee Lewis KK4JHF "Be well, do good work and keep in touch."

He was my neighbor, 7 years my junior and a real rocker. He didn't really play much slide, just on that recording far as I can remember. We would hang out a lot I guess because we were neighbors, had a lot of common interests, and because of our musical interests. Also, he was a real Beetles freak. I really didn't like the early Beetles stuff, but certainly grew to like their later work and needless to say, it has certainly withheld the test of time. Anyway, Marc would come over and I would turn him on to whatever the latest jazz stuff I had like Oscar Peterson, Count Basie, Miles Davis, or whatever I had just gotten. He claims to this day that I have been a big musical influence on him to broaden his talents from rock into other genres, His TV and movie stuff would bare this out, not that I will claim any credit for anything with this guy. He's just very creative! If I remember, I will tell you the story about being on this crazy Christmas show Marc was in charge of in 1996 I think, that happened in Hollywood from 6 until 10 Am one Friday morning just before Christmas. That was the same time as their regular show so they did a live broadcast during the same time span. I have a couple of cuts I did playing with his band on that show and let me tell you, it was a scary thrill to do that. Anyway, gotta hit the sack now so I can get up and go play one of those low paying jazz gigs in a bar from 3 to 6 Pm today. Usually a mild place with few if any issues between patrons. Regarding the Sideband Baby song, it kind of happened because somewhat before that time, I had a sideband CB rig and Marc would hang out while I was yacking it up. Also, we had mutual friends some of whom were his age in school who were CB-r's then got into Ham radio. By time we did the recording I was at least a novice ham and had bought my first rig, that good old Drake TR4C which was what I used to get the sideband effect. I sure wish I had held on to that Drakespr4 receiver, it was great and had an Am quad that would plug into the top that you could use on medium wave to DX. Oh well, DX is kind of worthless nowadays with all the repetitive crap on Am and me not having the patience to listen for ID's. Would rather listen to internet radio on the Plextalk Pocket, speaking of which, did you ever get one or apply for it? You really have to do that! Enough from me, talk about rattling on, on only after one glass of red wine! 73, Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: Colin McDonald <[log in to unmask] To: [log in to unmask] Date sent: Sun, 9 Dec 2012 01:39:03 -0700 Subject: Re: Sideband BabyRe: ham radio horder lol that's good stuff. good slide work in there. 73 Colin, V A6BKX ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Gammon" <[log in to unmask] To: <[log in to unmask] Sent: Saturday, December 08, 2012 1:37 PM Subject: Sideband BabyRe: ham radio horder Hi, I couldn't help myself after hearing that great song about the YL. Here's a link to a song my friend wrote back in the 1970's for a radio shack contest. He is actually a kind of famous guitar player now just having released a CD recorded with Keith Emerson and a symphany orchestra from Germany. The album is called the Three Fates. But I digress. If you do download the Sideband Baby song, you will hear sideband as part of the song. I used my Drake TR4 through a dummy load then received the signal on a Drake SPR4 which I slightly tuned off frequency to get the desired affect. Hope you enjoy it.
