Hi all.
I`m a day early. but needs must as I am doing this from the public library. I only have mobile internet which I usually tether to the computers. Unfortunately I am being beset with techy problems at the moment and local construction of housing has meant the Mobile mast being replaced. grrr sketchy internet at home.
My selection for November is the traditional ballad "the snows they melt the soonest". " the snow it melts the soonest".
en.m.wikipedia.org
Famous versions are by Sting , Dick Gaughan and Bully wee, but it`s really a standard all over the UK and Ireland. Some have called the song way too mysoginistic for todays world , but since no vocals are being done it`s no issue, well not for me anyway.
I couldn't have presented this thread without the work of Curator Nigel. We have been spoilt, and if we want to continue the threads we probably will have to a bit more of the spade work in the future perhaps.
It has to also be said that I won`t be hurt if the participation level isn`t great. I get that, and I see the phenomenon all over the internet. Anyway some may enjoy having a go at a song that has never been associated with saxophone , Until Now "Tee Hee"
Here are some resource material and Backing Tracks, "One is a chorus longer" from Nigel and myself. 4/4 version for Bb, Eb and concert C.
3/4 waltz backing track with dodgy lead sheet. Bb only

Also a couple of clips.

My 32 year old Spirit Folio Mixing desk just died. Well actually it`s the impossible to find Transformer/power supply. I do intend in providing a rendition ASAP probably on Tenor as I have already posted a Soprano and Tin Whistle version on my Soundclick.
