November 3

I've mentioned this before, that Jack Schrader has the nicest arrangements of choral music I've seen. The choral parts have incredible harmonies and you really get to play with your big gospel voice. The piano accompaniment is always peppered with bluesy licks and more often than not, a few difficult parts that keep it interesting.

I'm grateful for my trusty metronome, a gift from my piano professor back in college. Without it, speed-learning What a Friend this afternoon would have been much more difficult.
