Today, the 4th of July, the USA is celebrating its Independence Day.

I continue to celebrate my *musical* independence.

Thanks to iReal pro, I'm liberated from:
--Carrying a heavy backpack full of fakebooks around
(and still not being able to find the right chart)
--struggling to transpose unfamiliar charts on the fly.
--having difficulty reading charts on a dark stage.
--boring practice routines.
--problems getting a quick chart for a listener-requested tune.
--even needing a *band* (well, sometimes)
(when there's not enough budget to fairly pay my players)

I can only imagine how different my life would be if this life-changing musical app had been around when I was in high school...

Thank You iReal Pro!
