Thank you folks, this was a very challenging song, I listened a bunch of times to Johnny play it and then listened a bunch of times to Marvin sing it, then I’d try recoding it and just blow the timing. This wasn’t a “one take” song, I’m sure my neighbors think I have Tourette’s!
Now on to a duet with my oldest granddaughter, she plays alto in HS and wants to do “What a Wonderful World” with me. This should be fun, I’m thinking we’ll trade of measures in the vocal line and then play the tag phrase together. Poor kid hasn’t been able to play or sing (she’s in the concert band, wind ensemble and the high level girls singing group) at school with her friends in two months. I’ll try and make it as fun as possible for her.
