Apparently all the songs ever written have been done now so we have to go back and do them again..

 

[Chris]

Haha, yes it's already been done But seeing how we have lots of guys falling over each other wanting to host this month/thread, sometimes a repeat is better than no thread

Chris..

No need to apologise @Francisco will be interesting to see how much or even whether we've improved.

@Francisco congratulations on getting it down. Sounding nervous at the start, no one here's going to bite relax and let go.
Am posting a favourite harpist doing this song, enjoy.

I did an update to my file, yesterday the things were not going well, recently bought a new sax, try to improve but I think it got worse (the player is weak too), however changed the mouthpiece and I think it has improved a bit for now, the link is the same, thanks for listening.

Something wrong with that backing track intro. 9 bars intro?

8 bars +1, the 9 bar is equal to the 8, the melody starts in the last half-time of 9 bar

Just a quick one for fun. Biab is taking care of bass & drums while I'm on sax and guitar. No dots, just anything that popped into my head.

Hi Jimmylh, nice, and nice backing and guitar playing, thanks for the post

 

[Tiberius]

Ok, started to have a play with this. Just the intro and first verse for now, I'm hoping my timing is a bit easier on this as I'm more used to this than the ballad type stuff Tone seems very 'thin' today for some reason, probably trying too hard

Oh, nearly forgot. Notes are from the sheet with a few refactored notes, plus I've migrated them all as the backing track is in a different key (D major...unless it's a minor key, in which case it's err, something else ) A few A#s too, not really sure why as there's also some A's, sure there's a reason for that, but my teacher worked most of that out. Taken mostly from the YouTube of The Animals version.
