Peter Sprague Plays "My Favorite Things"

This tune has always been special to me. Growing up with the Sound of Music and then morph that into how Coltrane played it. Here I'm exploring it as a samba with some chord substitutions. I played this live at SpragueLand in Encinitas, CA on April 4, 2013.
When I'm looking down at the floor I'm navigating my loop and synth pedals. This is during the intro, exit and in the solo section of the tune.

There are some folks who can visualize things better in their head then with their eyes. This man is one of those.

[@PeterSpragueMusic]

My dear friend Peter Sprague, a great honor to know him! A great human being and an absolute virtuoso! 👍👍👍

[@PeterSpragueMusic]

Yo Jose, good on 'ya amigo and thanks for the kindness...

[@ligetispaghetti]

@@PeterSpragueMusic considering my current distain for human beings right now, I'm not entirely sure that you are a human. And I mean that in the best possible way. If I was an alien from another planet and you were the first human being that I met, I would assume that humans were worth saving. Lol. But seriously, this rendition of a true classic belongs with the best interpretations of it.

[@PeterSpragueMusic]

@@ligetispaghetti wonderful to get your wildly creative note and also, thanks for taking the vid for a spin. So nice that it worked on your ears and it's a trip to play it. I'll keep going and yes the world is a mess but it's still worth living it up....all best, Peter

[@cj1301]

Mr. Sprague, your genius is showing...
