CLASSIC! -------------------- It's about expression, not impression Post Extras:       roger strange Tiger Talk Pro Reged: Dec 09 2003 Posts: 1650 Loc: Nova Scotia Canada Re: Soloing al la Elvin [Re: lmr80]       #47358 - Thu May 12 2011 02:36 PM (173.212.93.166) Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   As to soloing A-La-Elvin. Good luck. There was only one Elvin and although some cats I'm sure can cop him note for note, IT ISN'T ELVIN!
