The Music Thread

[Bob Zumbrunnen]

I'll have to see if the guy who does the work on my machines can get me a copy of the picture he took of the excavator stuck *again*. Got it out without any other machine helping last night. Well, started yesterday afternoon and once I figured out a way that might work, it took 6 hours. I basically rocked it back and forth a foot at a time, using the boom to lift the tracks so that piles of dirt I'd set at the edges would fall under the tracks, lower the machine, turn around and do the same with the other end of the tracks. Each time, probably gained about 6 inches of height. Until it finally pulled itself out.

Gonna take the hired help a couple of days to get it clean this time.

Anyway, music thread, right?

I was looking on Youtube last night for a live performance of Maynard Ferguson's "Give It One", which has always been a favorite.

Didn't find an MF one, but found this and am so glad I did. I'm absolutely blown away! The screamer in this group plays a good octave higher than I can, and I play pretty darned high!
