      Hey guys, glad to hear some of the email responses to Last date.
      For me, it wasn’t a huge well-known song as some of the ones I do.
      But like many, I had heard it and when it plays it really makes you notice.

      I was on a rock & roll tour a while ago and the piano player just started plying it in the middle of our set
      and it really hit me….so soulful, so melodic so cool.
      i checked out Floyd Cramer and was really impressed.

      Anyway, happy I added it to the list and really enjoyed learning and recording it.
      Also, gotta mention how many musical genres it crossed. you have to respect a song that does that because
      it’s a rare thing.

        Ya, Floyd Crammer was the piano man during the Elvis Years, Thanks for sending Last Date to me. Today, Feb. 3 “Last Date” is still not on my Repertoire page. “Imagine” is the last song on my repertoire page. But i now have the sheet music and backing tracks. Thanks Johnny

          I like “Last Date” and I like to take it up two half steps to the Key of A major just by looking at the notes in G major and thinking two half steps up to A major. I suppose I prefer to play low D instead of low C.

            Hi Johnny the Last Date is not showing up where I can download either. I can watch your video but that is it.
            Thanks really enjoy your version.

                  James Buckley; Last Date never showed up on my repertoire page either. Johnny had to send it to me.

                    well, that’s weird because I uploaded it next to Imagine and it’s showing on my page….I wonder if you’re looking at an old cached page fro your browser…try refreshing maybe.

                      great Gary, ya I got that lick off a jazz player many years ago because it stood out and I’ve never forgotten it. Try to incorporate it when I can. you’ll have to commit it to memory to be able to play it fast and smooth tho!

                        Hey Johnny–yes, that song ‘Last Date’ was really nice on the Saxophone 🙂 I had never heard of that song, really cool of you to make a Sax cover for it–well suited for the Saxophone 🙂 I love the sound you get with the Guardala Carbon Fiber MP and the reed to go with it; nice, fat, full sound.
