I'm George Benson, inviting you to join us on Workshop Live at the Breeson Lounge.
We'll see you there.
[C] [Bb]

[Dm] [A] [Gm] [F]
[Eb] [Ebm] [Db]
[Ebm] Understand, you know, if you play something [Cm] that people relate to [D] or that's simple enough,
[G] then they don't get confused and [Cm] they don't get bogged down with the many notes or the
solo doesn't become the [Bb] most important part.
It's a lift, don't get me wrong, and it's an [Ab] expression.
But the thing they'll go away with, [Bb] two things.
[A] They have to have [Bbm]
good sound and good feeling.
[Ab] If a song feels good and sounds good, you have got the basis of communication with [B] that audience.
[Cm]
[D] [G] That's probably [F] one of the biggest assets I have is that I was a singer first.
[Bb] And [Ab] when I started playing [G] instruments, I always knew what the melody was, so I was
never lost about where I should be in the song.
[Cm] [D]
[Bb] [B]
[A] That's the beauty of [Ab] playing live.
You know, you begin [A] to feel [Bbm] the audience out and try to bring them along.
But as long as they're interested [B] and they're listening, that's the [Bb] point.
We keep the air, and they're glad they [Bbm] came.

[Bb] [Ab]
[Eb] We have a ball, [Db] just experimenting [C] and just off [Ab] the cuff.
And that's [B] the value of jazz music.
It [Eb] allows you to be personal [Cm] and allows your [C] inner expressions to come out.
