Thanks for this lesson, Rick...you make it fun. I can't get the beat out of my head and discovered today that my vacuum cleaner makes a great dance partner.

Thank you Rick. People around me think I can play this one a little bit but I know better. I don't quite have Estrin's ear, but thanks to you slowing it down I've had a couple of...
