Hey Peter. Hey Adam. Do you ever compare yourself to other pianists?

Uh, yeah, minute, five minute, five minute.

I'm Adam Annas, and I'm Peterannis. And I'm Peter Martin. And you're listening to the You'll Hear It podcast. Daily Jazz Advice coming at you. What was that minute by minute by minute? Man, I don't, I mean, you were like, do I ever compare? I mean, you know, we're so, you know, we're spontaneous. Yeah. And I'm just like, yeah, I do. I do compare myself every minute. And that song just came into my mind. I got you. You familiar with that one? Yeah, no. And if you have to explain it, it makes it even funnier. Today's episode is sponsored by the Oxford American. The Oxford American is an amazing literary resource for all things, Southern culture, especially in music. There's so much great music happening in this magazine. You can go to Oxfordamerican.org slash YHI for some fantastic deals.

We're talking about issues that feature people like Nina Simone, John Coltrane, Colonious Monk, John Cage.

Again, that's Oxfordamerican.org slash YHI. That's 25 bucks for a year's subscription. That's cheap. That's cheap. I mean, think about all the things you pay, you know, that's for a year. Yeah. Think about all the things you pay $9 a month for, $10 a month, $5, Netflix, open studio, whatever. Worth it. Okay, that's worth it, of course. No, no, all these things are worth it, but they come out to a whole lot more than $25. It's true. For a year. This is straight for the year, so it's good. I'm sorry, I was a little bit distracted in case you said anything. I'm actually cleaning out my email, speaking of things totally unrelated. So you're like, you're multitasking here. I'm multitasking right there. Not giving your full attention to our wonderful listeners, perhaps. No, I am. I'm given it, but I'm very excited because I got under 2,000 emails now in my inbox on red. Wow. So I want to apologize for anyone that. 2,000? No, I have 1,188 right now. Well, today we have another speak pipe. we we have a week well we have half a week of speak pipes I hope it's a long
