I played a gig last night and included in my set, for the first time, the version of Moondance as shown by David on this site.
When I finished a guy came out of the audience and said he had proposed to his girlfriend while I was playing it, and she had accepted, so could I play it again! :D

I announced it to the audience, the landlord broke out the champagne, on the house, and a good time was had by all. Turned in to a really great gig. So a big thank you for the lesson.

Just thought you might like to know.

That's very cool, and while I'd like to accept credit for it, I think it should go to the performer and not the arranger in this case! :wink: After all, you are the one who provided the emotion. That counts for a lot more than whatever I teach.

Very nicely done!

Peace

PS - and call me "David." Please. :wink:

That's amazing. You rock !

To say that Mr. Hodge has made this planet better to live on (atleast musically) will not be entirely out of question. :wink:

I know that Mr. Hodge's lessons have helped me improve in my playing. You deserve all the credit you can get man. :mrgreen:

Congats Pup and David,

Awesome story Pup, you should record it and post for us.
Davids articles are great, very informative but just as importantly fun to read.

Regards,

Marty.
