Hello hellboy44.

Hey! Someone finally noticed! Thanks! As a sax player, I'm reasonably aware of intonation. You have to be with a horn - because of physics, you must adjust practically every note as you play it to stay in tune.
I know this probably comes off as an excuse,(I hate excuses - an excuse is a reason that doesn't cut it) but I've been trying to sing material a little outside my comfort range. I was especially uncomfortable bending notes in the middle of a lyric (phrase) as I know this can go south quite easily. It's especially easy to hit the note slightly flat, which is what you heard, I think. On the other hand, I really don't like to use pitch correction or other tricks, so I do my best at the time. One thing I should have done (which I often do), is go back and redo the first verse after doing the rest, and then pick the best take. This works for me as by that time I'm more relaxed and warmed up. And of course there's always practice, practice, practice!

If you listen close to the horn solo, you'll also hear a few out-o-tune notes; particularly the F (concert F, G on the horn). Again, it comes from not playing consistently (flabby diaphragm and other necessary muscles).

Thanks for listening (and noticing),
Dan
