Well here we are almost in March. Spring around the corner.
The Baton has been passed to me and as I seem to be on a Hoagy Carmichael bent at the moment, I've picked an old standard.
"The Nearness of You". It's a lovely melody with romantic lyrics and a simple format, and more challenging than you'd think.
I was messing with the Soprano this afternoon and decided to have a run through. The new mouthpiece is proving a challenge but it's coming slowly. My version , warts and all.

No doubt Chris will let you have a copy of the backing track and there's a few karaoke versions on Youtube.
I think this is the sort of number that I'll be having a go at on various saxophones and maybe the clarinet too.
