Hi all, Well, I have been enlightened... A Monroe-phile some of you may know name of Chubby Conine gave me some MP3 files containing Monroe showing someone (anyone know who/where?) Trombolin, and then Jack Across The Way. Trombolin seems to have an A part and a B part, and J.A.T.W. is just a little snippet, just one part. I've put zipped MP3 files of Trombolin's b-part and J.A.T.W. in the "Files" part of this site. They are compressed with a new(er) compression type named "7z" (see http://www.7-zip.org/ for details and downloads) so you'll have to use a 7zip-capable decompressor (I use 7zX on my Mac.)
Also, as I'm learning (oh so slowly) how to read / write music, I transcribed the b-part to Skip Gorman's version of Trombolin / Jack and stuck that up in the files section as well. I haven't figured out which part is Trombolin-b and which is Jack, but I aim to do that next... If any of you all figure it out before I do, let me know. Also, any corrections gladly accepted, as this is my first-ever transcription effort. Anyways, enjoy -- Will On Mar 30, 1:33 pm, mistertaterbug <[email protected]> wrote: > Yessir.
