I made this over a couple of days in January 2024. I just learned this song a couple of days prior to recording it.

I started with the backing track from Jim Snidero's Groove Blues, but then realized it does not maintain a steady tempo. So, I composed a drum track to hold a steady tempo called "Funky Drums2 for my 251 Blues" with my dad, and we had a funny laugh about it. Next I put down a singing track where we just sung the parts as a placeholder. Using the drum and singing track, I laid in the piano, trumpet, and soprano trombone parts in that order one at a time, and took out the singing track.

I got the piano in one take but turned out I played a 5/4 measure right before chorus 2, so we trimmed that. It was about my 10th time playing the trumpet parts and this is one take. Maybe I'll add some bass or trumpet improv at some point.

Then my dad and I laid out the video in ShotCut and added some credits.

Sometimes music is serious, like my piano recitals. Sometimes, music is just fun, and I wanted to share this. Enjoy! Let me know what you think.
