Hi Igor, I see you've met Lekzee (lol! she's a doll!) I really like your jazz version of the Beatles Day Tripper. I wouldn't have guessed it would make such a good jazz song! Drop by our site if you can, thanks, David.
Hello Igor.....Golfstream seems to have become my favorite song you. There is such an optimistic feel to it.
Mr. Zolotukhin,
I want to Congratulate you for taking a simple song, Day Tripper, and turning it into a Jazz Masterpiece.
Have a good day,
Lekzee
