Here's a recording of a little blues I did a while back that keeps evading me. I started this tune exactly three years ago to the date with a note, "Just an idea for a tune" and apparently I was practicing improvisation on what's called the Mixolydian Mode. I had forgotten about this track (and it's accompanying weird little video) until recently when I stumbled across it. After discovering it, I recorded several additional tracks on top of the original Clavinet improvised solo. (I've always loved the Hohner Clavinet- it's one of only a few instruments that truly gave funk music its sound. I'm using an older Yamaha keyboard here to emulate the sound of the Clavinet). For the newly recorded tracks, I recorded an additional synth track, cowbell, tambourine, drums, and keyboard bass.
I don't know how well received this will be but it's really the best keyboard playing I have of myself. I don't think I could do this again as the improvised keyboard solo (0:50 - 02:25) was done in a single take.
Anyway, here it is. Enjoy! Dave
