Goldfinger, piano at Crown Plaza, Hydrogen and practice

Hi everybody,

I've got a version of goldfinger going on--

 Goldfinger (Barry, Bricusse, Newley) by Malcolm81

That's played using the rhodes sound I mentioned in an earlier post.  Also, there is a grand piano at the crown plaza, and I figure I can go play it and get out of there before any one complains and I will be fine.  Problem is I realized a few of things -- my repertoire stinks.  And my leads stink.  And my rhythm stinks.  So, actually I think I will practice along with a drum machine for a while, using Hydrogen, which is actually really easy to use for just setting up some beats to practice over.  Maybe at some point I'll get some bass lines going too, but for now just the drum machine is probably enough to get me thinking more precisely about rhythm.

Anyhow,
