Happy Tune
This one wins my prize for being the happiest tune here on the Session. I listened to the MIDI and couldn't help but smile. Great arrangement.

Syncopation
Ican't help but want to shorten the d and lenghen the following G in the first full measure, but I'm weird that way.

? ~ Go on then, show us what exactly you mean, notate it?!
# Posted on January 20th 2007 by ceolachan
Something like this...
|G2 B>c d>(G G2)|
for the first full measure.

And even...
| G2 B>c >d(G G2 )|
or is that going too far?
If you go this route, you could start the second part this way:
|: (3Bcd | >gdB>d >gd d2 |
