[HAM] ATTN Mr. Joe: What's the most distinctive clue? BF Test #7

[joe d]

Whoah, hold on a sec...i didn't say this to get things heated.
It just sounded like rootless voicings were what you described prior, so it 
was more of a statement/question of sorts.
For cited examples will require a lot of listening and 
editing...(awesome!!). But seriously I know I've heard Jimmy do it and Wild 
Bill.
