And also for the Feeble Jazz - the rhythm actually reminded me of the trumpet/piano counter-rhythm at the beginning of Miles Davis' version of "Autumn Leaves"! So, rock may be where your direction lies for the moment - but I'm sure we'll make a jazz maestro out of you yet! ;)

i really like "Overnighter" too. I mentioned somewhere that it was the first chord progression I ever really wrote and remembered. I wish I had waited to record "Igor" until I had a better grasp of my equipment. "Feeble Jazz" well we'll just leave it at that. :D I really like Jazz. It's something I wouldn't mind putting forth the effort to master.
