In a blog essay posted on the Web site of The American Scholar before Mr. Mitchell's death, Mr. Zinsser said Mr. Mitchell's approach to broken-down pianos (which musicians sometimes encounter on tour) illustrated his approach to life. "I learned long ago that it does no good to complain," Mr. Zinsser recalled Mr. Mitchell telling him. Instead, listen to the keys and put their flatness or sharpness to use. "You say, 'What does it do?' " said Mr. Mitchell, sounding an imaginary clinker on a piano. " 'Will it do anything? Let's check it out' - NY Times obit, reference to http://theamericanscholar.org/what-does-it-do/#.Uj3ivWR4ZEu

..inspired by the recent BP postings and the reports from PT, I thought I'd go public w/ another BWM song I'd been working in in the past year or so .. Mr. McTell plays it really fast and with a big right thumb on the 2 & 4, so I tried to go for that, but after 4 or 5 takes I lost my stamina, so here's what I got .. played on my Stella jumbo tuned way down, recorded in Audacity .. regards..Tom

Sounds like your stamina held up pretty well to me - nice job!  That low-tuned Stella really sounds great.
