I had figured that you had everyone play all the way thru, then pick your favorite parts.

That thought crossed my mind, but then 15 players times 15 4 bar phrases is 225 parts to sort though, pick and comp together. That’s when the other side of the brain said “why not just make a roadmap and let everyone play where you would like them to play”. Also the way the steel ties together, it could make separation of the phrases not sound natural. The cool is how well they all tie together!

That may the best thing I’ve heard this year. Very good for my mental health, it’s been a rough year. Thanks John and all who played on it..
