I'm so glad we're back to coming at you.

I missed that one.

We had a little bit of hate yesterday. We're back to love today. I love it. And we're back to coming at you. And actually, we're back to something kind of back to our podcast roots. Because right now, where am I sitting? At the piano. I'm sitting at the piano. At the Mighty Steinway.

Hello.

Hello.

That's right.

Right where we started.

Yeah, well, we thought a little bit of piano might be in order because we're At the piano. I'm sitting at the piano. At the Mighty Steinway. Hello. Hello. That's right.

Right, where we started. Yeah, well, we thought a little bit of piano might be in order because we have a great question from one of our listeners. Ben Hogg, H-O-G-G. Not sure where he's from, but he, what's up, Ben? Thanks for writing in on the You'll Hear It page. and what he said was, big fan of the podcast.

You guys are doing something really unique. I have a question, all caps. I like that. See, that's a man who wants an answer. That's right. One thing I've always struggled with is ending tunes.

either for solo piano for sure, but even with the group, the piano kind of leads things

or maybe the bass in terms of how the tune's going to end, especially a standard tune if it doesn't have a typical ending. Or even if it does have a typical ending, let's think about some variations because there's so many ways, way more than seven, to end a tune that we don't need to always go to the typical ones. We're going to go through some typical ones. And we can even throw in a few kind of unusual ones too, so there's some nice options.

We'll throw in some cool ones at the end for sure.

But don't be afraid. Like what I like to do is really try to be open to the moment, especially
