Teaching Crazy Hepcats.

[crocodilian]

Hello there! I've been assured that there would be many videos on youtube and the like of this piece as I've just been given it to learn.
However, I can't find it anywhere! Can anyone point me in the right direction for a vid or mp3 or something?

Thanks in advance,

Jim

I played Crazy Hepcats for my grade 6!!
If you're truly desperate, I could record it for you, but I can't promise it would be perfect anymore!!

Maybe I should add... it never was perfect 🙂))

well, it kept me entertained for the afternoon.
I didn't manage this one in one take! All the duff bits have been edited out, as I made loads of mistakes, and even this isn't perfect, but it's a fair attempt.

hope it's of some use, Jim

Thanks all for your help! I didn't expect someone to go out of their way and record themselves playing! That's truly great, thanks Mandy! I'll start getting to grips with it tomorrow. Reminds me in style to saxsequential.

Mandy,

Thanks for doing the recording. It wasn't a tune I'd heard of, but having listened to your rendition have just downloaded the sheet music to give it a go .......... I like a challenge!

Cheers,

Amanda
