About 30 years ago a recording engineer told me about "demoitis". I understood what he meant at the time... a client who was so used to hearing the demo, he didn't like the final, polished recording. That has happened to me a couple of times. When it happens I usually choose to post the demo (on Soundcloud or my blog) instead of the final recording. For some reason I could not recapture the vibe, the feeling of the demo. No problem though, the listeners seem to like the demos too.

I always demo my stuff--it gives me a chance to really live with something tangible, but also to build on. Also, it's easy to forget really good ideas, so sometimes I write the stuff out in my notebook until I can get to it.
Here is a demo of a tune called Strollin' by Horace Silver. It's a jazz composition with a very swinging strolling vibe, for lack of a better word. I turned it into a Buck Owens vibe. We've been gigging with the tune for a few months and while the arrangement stays pretty close to the feel of the demo, we take it to another level. But this is the basic framework:

Hi Mike,
Has the soundfile moved?
I'm getting a 404 error on it.
Thanks
