I agree... I am ready to drop off the list. This sucks.

Ok, it's time to come clean.

It was me. I performed the Little Walter solos note for note. And some Big Walter ones. And James Cotton. Mea maxima culpa. I await approbation.

I suppose I should really come clean now. I also tried to be sneaky and played them also in retrograde. There's no use in hiding any more. It was me also who played the entire 27 chorus Paul Gonsalves solo from Diminuendo and Blue at Live at Newport. Fits nicely into Mystery Train. A few blow bends necessary that took an afternoon to get around. And the savvy in the audience I'm sure were pillorying me for my dastardly reduction of Varese's Ionization which I used as an introduction to my own composition "She Got a Waggle L'ak a Broke Down Humpy Dumpy", for which, I am ashamed to admit, the lyrics were stolen verbatim from the Molly Bloom chapter of Ulysses. Well, I do add a little of my own regional dialect for authenticity.

I feel so ashamed.
