one of those nights where I sit with a guitar in my lap and iReal up on my phone and try to figure out what key willie is playing in on one of his records of standards (tonight, the “That's Life” record, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq_-vz_qOd0&list=PLM_eo-srGT72vo-aOuegEnA3jSJr3qaDI&index=1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq_-vz_qOd0&list=PLM_eo-srGT72vo-aOuegEnA3jSJr3qaDI&index=1)) so that I can play rhythm for it before the song gets through the A section.

Sometimes it takes me the whole dang song.
