I've another transcription for this I'll try to remember to add later, when lost sleep isn't making as large an impact on my vision and senses... Now to reclaim some of what has been lost, hopefully...

Spin ~ ~ It's still a nice little set...

Following your lead, I tried this trio out together, and I like it. It's a kick, from D to this, which goes from G to D, and then back to G. They make a lovely fit in style too... Right or wrong, thanks for the suggestion...
