Re: A Ballad a Month

February? End of the World? the outlook is grey enough ....

Previous posts are exquisite and uplifting in a way that I can only aspire to ...

BUT, in the spirit of facing the End of the World with a "Look on the Bright Side of Life" perspective, here is a more upbeat (and very rough!) take ...

I thank you for your indulgence ...

I would say "enjoy", but instead I think it's "endure"!

Saxplorer, what can I say? I know when I called this tune I was looking forward to it done in different styles, but that had me tapping my foot all the way through..Very nice..

LOL These two were just what I needed to help me with this dreaded "man flu". Rune is always good for a bit extra Vvoom and I`d like a bit of what Trev is taking for his Cold remedy coz my McEwans export is not hitting the spot tonight.

PS has anyone ever known a cold virus to infect their horn

Indeed, my Yani has had a croaky voice lately. At first I thought it was just the reed and replaced it. To no avail. It must be the horn that has caught a cold...

Re: A Ballad a Month

I love this song, and so was quite nervous about having a go, as I really can't hide behind jazz licks, the melody has to be "sung" on the saxophone.

It's about the 4th tune down on this page:

I need to have another go, a few tuning issues here and there.

Re: A Ballad a Month

I just finished notating my backing a few days ago, and only got my laptop repaired yesterday so... hopefully Sunday/Monday for my submission :3

Re: A Ballad a Month

I`ll be doing the reveal of March`s Ballad at the weekend. ooohhh.That way the early birds can get working on their backings and charts etc.

Re: A Ballad a Month

And here's my clip for "The End Of The World". Backing was inspired by Art Pepper's Winter Moon album, hence the strings :3
