Re: Song of the Month for February 2017 - Creole Stomp

Just listening. That's how I learn for the most part. I wish I had someone who knew what they were doing to show me how to improve, but that's what you get when you are stuck in the dead center of Missouri. I'm thankful for this board because it's allowed me to at least have some more connection to the music and figure things out.

Re: Song of the Month for February 2017 - Creole Stomp



Since Nedro is putting up his progress, I felt I needed to make a second attempt. I'm feeling more confident in the melody and starting, finally, to get the feel of the 6/7 pull at the beginning. For some reason that was eluding me. I suppose next version I hope to add at least one more turn to it. Don't know how that's going to go, but I'm going to at least make the attempt

Re: Song of the Month for February 2017 - Creole Stomp

As promised, one last try at this tune. I still have a ways to go, but I think I've gotten my fingers around another turn. Lots of cleaning up to do but I wanted to try to run it at speed just to see if I could handle it for when I bring it to the band for a fast two step. Thanks to Mr. John for bringing the SOTM back. Now to start work on Colinda.

Ehren, nice job and a marked improvement. I like dem bounces!

Here's my Creole Stomp

Here's my shot at it which is also a demo of that splendid Martin that I have for sale.

Kudos! I didn't think you would do it!

Nice and clean, maybe sterile is a better word. Maybe a sip of scotch would help.

Re: Song of the Month for February 2017 - Creole Stomp

I made a video of the SOTM (Creole Stomp) on an iPad but I don’t know what to do with it to show up in this forum. Any advise? Thanks.
