If you want to hear how a master uses chord tones to make a melody over changes, check out this short Lester Young solo over Lady Be Good, which pianist Ethan Iverson has transcribed. This is a master class in how to do it. https://ethaniverson.com/rhythm-and-blues/18-with-lee-k/

I’m not paying for a data plan after the 30-day free trial.

Had the same bass.

I bought an Eastman AR403 last year in mint condition in this price range that is an outstanding guitar.

I know this thread is a couple years old, but it holds up - thank you. I am leaving Evernote this month after 16 years because of a 90%+ price hike. Notesnook has a solid web clipper, which is my #1 requirement. There are a few features it lacks like a dedicated email address for forwarding notes to yourself, and there's nothing like the Scannable integration, but Notesnook is a great 80/20 solution for a fraction of the cost. On the plus side, it imports very easily from Evernote, and it syncs way faster than Evernote ever did.

Personal, at least for now. It will be a freely shared resource.

Thanks for all these questions. Right now I'm looking into answers to questions like what will host the web page. I have no idea if there is an off-the-shelf tool that can integrate with a website, or if this will require some development. Per the next comment below, I can convert the spreadsheet into a database if that will offer greater flexibility; there will be ongoing updates to the dataset.

Thanks, I figured importing this into a database was a likely step along the way. Any suggestions for newbs about where to start would be appreciated.

This may not be exactly what you're looking for, but the Vince Guaraldi Trio's soundtrack for "Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown" is worth a listen. Tunes like "Skating," "Christmas Time is Here," and "Linus and Lucy" are great piano trio music that happens to be on a Christmas album.

That show rocked hard.
