Rumby, does being able to play DT's music enhance your appreciation of their abilities, or diminish it? Just curious. I play drums but will never be at that level, so was wondering what it feels like.

Well, it definitely changes your perception of the DT tunes you're playing, because now you really know all the nuances inside out, and you also know which sections are tricky and which are not.

What's the most challenging aspect of playing JP's stuff? Fingerings? Speed? (well duh) Alternate picking?

In my experience, timing. Playing the staccato part in Erotomania, or the leadup to the fast ITNOG keyboard-guitar solo, that's the tricky part. Learning the picking stuff is just a question of practice. Getting the timing right, that IMHO separates the wheat from the chaff.

Great stuff, rumby!  Good luck on the CD, I hope it brings you guys some more exposure!

You should learn the songs that DT never does live, like Don't Look Past Me and Space-Dye Vest.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

It really sounds great. And I agree with hef, have a go at some obscure DT songs, like The Way It Used To Be. I'd be interested in how your rendition of it would sound like.

I just listened to LTL and it was awesome! As far as the singer, I think I like his midrange and a little of the higher register much better than his lower; lower, to me, he almost sounds like Jethro Tull singing DT, but overall he was great.
The only criticism I have, and it's pretty nitpicky is the keyboarding. I just would have done more with bending and modulation in parts, but he's definitely way better than I am.
Excellent job!
