Dream gig

I don't get to talk much music with my corporate crowd, but that doesn't mean I don't always think about it, even subconsciously when I'm asleep.

Last night I dreamt I had my soprano with me at some banker gathering, and someone urged me to play something, so I started playing the bass line to a mambo, and build from there. Before I knew it I had a nice arrangement worked up, and the bass player in the band at the gathering caught the changes, picked it up and let me deal with the melody.

I didn't know it while this was all happening, but I was actually playing "It's Only a Paper Moon," which was so disguised that I had no idea I was even playing it. I've never played that song as a mambo, or even heard it played as a mambo, but it worked out beautifully, and I woke up humming a nice mambo groove to get me moving in the morning.
