This week's #TunesOnTuesday is a tribute to two online musical communities that have made me a better musician and songwriter. Shoutout to #FAWM and the #facebook group #JamOfTheWeek. When a #blues week comes up on the jam, as it did this week (number 488!), I usually write a new blues song. https://ohljazz.com/2023/07/18/tunes-on-tuesday-my-own-worst-enemy/ #songblog #jazzblog #musicblog #jazz #jazzmusic #songwriter #songwriting #composer #lyrics #piano #jazzpiano #music #musician #instamusic #performance
