| To achieve great things, two things are needed;
a plan, and not quite enough time. Too many people still believe that there are
only two kinds of women and two kinds of music
- one too popular to be good, the other to good to be popular. The old idea of a composer suddenly having
a terrific idea and sitting up all night to write it is nonsense.
Nighttime is for sleeping. Lesser artists borrow, great artists steal. If something is boring after two minutes, try
it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two.
Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all. |

TranscriptionNeed sheet music but only have a recording? Let me create it for you - whether a lead sheet or a fuller arrangement.

I can transcribe lead sheets off of recordings for any type of tune. Small Ensemble ArrangementsGot a trio, quartet, quintet?
