Yes Mike Harrison 2019-11-07 | Google. It. @mike_makes_music on IGSend me money or something idk I’m working on getting a Patreon page up and running. I intend to record and put out some more jazz standards, covers, beats, and eventually a bunch of original music. It’s a long and expensive process for all of that though, and I’m busy teaching and gigging every week so I can have enough money to be an adult with food and shelter. I love you all.

Everybody Who Rode In A Ambulance Car - Harmonized Mike Harrison 2019-08-02 | I ripped this clip from a youtube that stole it from someone else, and I couldn't find the original/creator in like 90 seconds of cursory googling.I must acknowledge that I incorrectly identified a iii-7 as a v-7+riff, but I refuse to edit and re-upload it. Fortunately, a v-7 would work in that harmonic context, so it's all good. Also follow me on instagram @mike_makes_musicand give me money or something, idkI love you all

Sugar In My Bowl - Piano Cover Mike Harrison 2016-07-01 | My humble take on an old tune. Still not sure who wrote it. Nina's version is a variation on a Bessie Smith tune. The old lyrics are ridiculous. Look em up. I forgot the lyric that starts the 2nd verse "I want a little steam in my clothes", and I wish I hadn't. Its such a good line. This song reminds me of my mother, because I remember it playing when she listened to Nina Simone in the house when I was little.
