@George Ko I feel much calmer now. Will watch the 1st two videos this evening and make a recording over the weekend. Still might wear a disguise, though...LOL!

@George Ko LOL! I'm going to watch the first two videos tonight and then dive in and give a try! (I might near to wear a disguise so my friends don't see how awful I'm expecting to be at this...).

Hi George! Sorry to be late to the Improv party. I was out of town at an amateur chamber music workshop (hence my Trout reference 😂). I will try to catch up.
