This is really lovely, Scorpio. I've enjoyed every one of the Jazz, Rags and Blues pieces that you have posted.

John305 and mom3gram, Thank you for listening and your kind words.

In the Misty Night Blues video, the recording comes from a practice session. Luckily I was using Pianoteq so I had the recording.
When I listened back, a few days later, I was quite pleased with the result, a product of not facing the red light of a planned recording
session. I may continue this process for some pieces going forward. This method is much less stressful.

Recording your practice session is always a good idea. I try to listen to my practice sessions a day or two later and sometimes
I am really displeased and often I am quite impressed. This is a good way to analyze your playing.
