I chose to play Johnny B. Goode at my entrance examn for the Jazz accademy (in ternary groove... it was interesting to hear the pianist just lick off the entire Solo in ternary, as I had never had the opportunity to actually listen to it like that before). I failed the examn, but not because of that. I completely messed up the entrance of "little suede shoes", plus the sheet reading...

Godspeed, Chuck!

And Beethoven, please roll over a bit, a collegue's arriving!
