Fine and you too! I always really appreciate how you put your tunes together. The chords always go with the notes which isn't the case usually; close as in horse shoes and hand grenades. But your are always spot on. Thanks!

Very nice😎 Russell attended Will Rogers High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma, alongside Anita Bryant, who was two years older, and in the same 1959 class as pop musician David Gates. Russell and Gates played and recorded together as the Fencemen.[17] Also attending Will Rogers at that time was guitarist and singer-songwriter Elvin Bishop. During this time, Russell was already performing at Tulsa nightclubs. He took the name Leon from a friend who lent him a fake ID to get into clubs he was legally too young to perform in.[18

This arrangement and playing is just wonderful. I remember when the George Benson album was released as if it were yesterday - just hanging around Tower Records trying to learn as much as we could about George and Phil Upchurch. Suddenly, the jazz section of the store was crowded! Leon Russell's original of his tune was also incredible. Thanks Walter for the great memories and fantastic arrangement. I am looking forward to your tab on this. This is absolutely a must learn! Thanks, John Gig Harbor, WA
