This video contains an old song with two great solos that are performed so natural, one on the piano and on the guitar.

Nigel, my son's old band gets together once in a while and performs at some of Baltimore's larger clubs, often drawing 300 or more people to each performance. Here's a link to the band from a couple years ago. http://red.planetarena.org/qim/bio.html Most of his time now is spent in software development for a major corporation, plus adding to his online game http://red.planetarena.org/ which has been extremely successful.

Yesterday, we had both our children over for a birthday dinner, John brought his guitar and an amp and we jammed till midnight. We had a ball.

I have the Yamaha Electone Course that has the whole tune written out for organ (with left hand and bass pedals) and I used to teach the tune........It has the sax part transcribed pretty accurately,

Unfortunately I don't have a printer/scanner, but I may get one in the near future from a client. If I do, I'll post the transcription here.

Ian.....that song is about as near perfect as a song could be. And, yes, the sax solo in the middle and at the end put the tune up there with the best of them.

I sing it in D, but it's too high for me and I'm too lazy to lower it.

I've been looking all day for my transcription....can't find it. And I wrote it out note for note! If you can get it up here or send me a copy, I, for one, would appreciate it.

That song is like listening to Chopin. No matter how many times you hear it......you want to listen to it again!

I think one of my most favorite solos is the guitar solo in Chuck Mangione's hit "Feels So Good". It was played by Grant Geissman http://www.grantgeissman.com/fsg_solo.html

Nigel.......that's one I DO agree with you on. I forgot all about that tune and how I used to be amazed over that guitar solo. Like....just when you digested one measure he was playing, the next measure was somewhere else. And those triplets were brilliant. Great tune too!
