@Steve Pederson Thanks. Funny you say that about the "Entertainer." I am working on another early Carlevaro piece that reminds me of Scott Joplin. Hope to post next week.

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations 🥁🎸
@Eric Phillips I always enjoy your Sor. I also very much like and impressed that you are so focused and dedicated to Sor. I also find it rewarding to specialize on a particular composer.
