Commitment

 Heavy Levity readers, you may know I play a little guitar. 

Here's a recent sojourn into chord melody. 


I used AI (Gemini specifically) to explain the basics and took my guitar to my son's swim practice and kept at it until I came up with the diddy.

Fast forward a couple months and I'm looking for backing tracks to help with my swing feel - as if I have any swing feel at all - and google directs me to Smokin' At The Half Note - Wynton Kelly Trio with Wes Montgomery. 


Fair enough. But as I'm scanning the search return, I come across the factoid that Pat Matheny memorized the album and considers this the album that taught him how to play guitar. 

Commitment.

What have you committed to dear Heavy Levity reader?
