Rock 'n' Roll

Hi Mark,
Wow! What a blast working with Sherry on Saxophone Rock! She's sharper than 3 tacks. To give you a little history on this, I wrote the song from scratch at age 16 (51 years ago). It is about 80% true. I have been married to "my little mamma" for 47 years and actually "stole" her from my drummer. I had a band called "The Crystals" at that time, but never played the song in the band (obvious reasons). I burried it and it stayed burried all that time. Strangely, I found it a few months ago nestled among my old Schillinger Jazz books. I hope Schillinger never finds out! Sherry can tell you more about what part BIAB played in the song. I did the solos on my keyboard (that's the reason it took so long) and I was never happy with them, somehow it just "ain't the same" as playing a sax. I liked the piano part too, and I had a big problem adding sax to the rest of the song because I didn't want to encroach on the flavor. I finally got the idea to use the bass part and edit it a little to fit the sax. It turned out to be the right thing to do. Sherry is doing the vocal also. We're equal partners in crime. It would have been great to have had you join in the fun, but I can only imagine how busy you've been.
