Anyone notice anything different in the second bridge? (Or did anyone get that far?)

 

[PMason247]

This sounds like a fun one to do.
I'll get right on it this week.

Flintstones (does that count as a quote ?)
Surrey with the Fringe on Top
Salt Peanuts
On The Street Where You Live
Rhythm-a-Ning

Some others seemed familiar.

Key change ?

You got half of them! Theme from "Alfie" (although I played it poorly), "Heaven, I'm in Heaven" (what's the name of that?), "Lucky Southern" in the bridge, "Gonna Wash that Man Right Out of My Hair" from the musical "South Pacific"

Key change ?

The bridge is a variant on the "normal" I Got Rhythm bridge. Instead using the cycle of fifths, it goes down a whole step then, half steps to the dominant to resolve on the tonic. By the way, I played this in Db because Flintstones is a good exercise for hitting that bottom note.

We have come to the end of the month, so I would like to thank @rhysonsax for acting as host and to thank all the contributors. As usual, this thread will remain open, and further contributions are very welcome.

Here's on from me back in 2019.
Mostly on Baritone with some (very rare) alto thrown in.

Thanks for that, it's great that the thread is still active after the end of August and good to hear you on alto as well as baritone.
