Four on the Frypan
Years of playing the incorrect Real Book changes, finally put on the record and figured the actual changes out. Def changed what I was used to since the 80s, but what the heck. Aside from some bad notes, the steel still sounds wonderful 90 years later. (Originally learned this as an extra credit assignment in Steve Bauer's ear training class at Berklee 1981. I actually used solfege to learn this on the steel!)

Nice use of open strings in your lines! And I like how you pickup the bar for some whole tone moves on the same string, so it doesn't always sound like a slide. Helps to break it up and make things sound a bit more in tune (IMO). Nice!
One thing, the backing track is a little sad (or maybe it's just quiet). You need some more swingin' rhythm behind you (that's a compliment!).
