RE: Allen Cole's Web Site

Allen, you are too modest and I am a little slow I guess. I didn't realize until your response to Steve that you were suggesting there was really something important to me on another web site and it was yours. I can play those simple little tunes you suggest, sometimes even in different keys. It is the next step that has me stopped. If they are any longer or more complicated than a simple tune I have known for decades I am stumped after one wrong note because that one wrong note seems to cause the rest of the tune to vanish from my head and I have to start all over. This is NOT fun. After hitting this brick wall for years I gave it up. My kids, on the other hand, can play a tune along with the radio after an hour or so fiddling around to find out the fingerings on any new instrument they pick up. The quality of the notes suck but darned if they aren't the correct ones. This is very frustrating for PaPa. Thanks to your site and the Dixieland Jam book I am trying again, in private!
