Delighted I can be of service, and please feel free to share anything you're practicing.

Good to have you back! Don't forgot I'm available if you need personalized service! And I have plenty of Chanukah songs to share.

@@1bigmacha-thePianoLesson I’ll let you know. Thank you so much!

It's great to hear from you again!

Let me know if you had any success with your practice.

Believe it! Thanks for your kindness, Francesco :-)

Yes, the gasket raises up the filter and should prevent water from leaking into the car. The stock screen also has a gasket though mine was worn out and had a hole in it. Though I'm NOT a mechanic, from my limited experience your leak is likely coming from somewhere else: drain under the cowl clogged with leaves, clogged condensation hose, or perhaps a bad heater core (check for antifreeze or water). Here's my idea for a homemade filter: Cut some window screen slightly larger than the kidney shaped stock screen. Cut some flat filter media to the inner dimension of the stock screen. Place the larger window screen underneath the smaller filter media to keep it from falling into the hole. Screw down the stock screen and you're done. Be sure to inspect and replace the gasket on the stock screen if it's old and failing.

That is probably your heater core bud.

Yes, Monk came from the stride tradition. Also, heavily influenced by music from the West Indies

I'm not gonna argue :-)

Glad to be of service and hope I can help in the future.

I've always wanted to be called maestro! :-)

You're quite welcome!

Augmenting your understanding of diminished :-)

I didn't know Chisa. Thanks for the great suggestion! It would make a great medley.

Thanks for your encouragement!

Rest assured that I've had all my shots.

My pleasure!

Hi Rachel! Glad to know your still playing piano!! Yes, I survived the pandemic so far but my cousin Hal wasn't so lucky. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Willner Stay safe it's not over yet.

Let me know if there's anything specific that you find useful in the video.

Thanks, I miss Barry. Apparently, you could never mention Bill Evans around him :-)

@@1bigmacha-thePianoLesson Yes he was very strict, you better not mention modes and free jazz either :)

I'm delighted you found this lesson helpful and let me know if I can of further assistance!

Thanks for your enthusiasm and keep up the good work!

Thanks for being so direct :-) I agree, it's a compromise. What would you specifically suggest? More importantly, what did you learn from the lesson?

@@1bigmacha-thePianoLesson have a look what others are doing. Maybe iPad video, second camera - get creative. Reinforcing the concept of scales rather than chords is good to be reminded of as that’s how you should prob visualise music, certainly on the piano. Good luck
