Rob-
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, those ii/V7s in the bridge are tough and my treatment of them needs to improve. I'm working on it! Thanks again for encouragement and feedback.

P.S. You know, when I first met you at Bonfiglio's seminar, I didn't even know what a ii/V7 was :-)

The tune is "Have You Met Miss Jones?" which I thank Michael Rubin for prompting me to learn.
