This is the title track of my latest bandcamp album. At one time back in the 1970s I could play the whole of the organ part, and the walking bass live. Can't do that now, Fingers too stiff and way out of practice Sad
On the brighter side I can still just about manage the main part in one sitting. In some places I hold down an octave span with thumb and little finger, using the others to create chord inversions and/or short melody runs.
The whole album is:

P.S. All done with the Yoshimi synth - including drums Smiley

This sounds really great Will.
That is one versatile instrument and you play it extremely well.

I hear you about stiff fingers.  Arthritis and trigger finger has handicapped my playing abilities.

Thanks Mario,
There's another tune - a piano piece - I used to play that I've been practicing. It's quite complex and I keep stumbling on it, but slowly muscle memory it getting better and I'm determined to get to the point where I can (once more) play it right through without errors and record it.
