Rikki and John - thanks for the listen and your comments! It is a song that will live forever and it definitely spurs emotion. About 30 years ago, I saw one of my heroes (Kirk Whalum) perform this live out in a park in Los Angeles. Have always wanted to play it in a similar fashion and this track fits the bill. Thanks again!

So so cool..sets a perfect mood.

Definitely agree Sparky! It's an uplifting song for sure. Thanks for the listen and for the kind words!

Really god stuff, Randy. Not only were variations on the lead line great, but the tone, is unique and soothing. Tone is something you can improve, but can't really learn. Yours is TASTY.

Awesome Randy,

Love the "fills" and octave changes were impressive. Very relaxing rendition of Over The Rainbow. Piano backing was equally impressive.

$450 for a Selma MarkIV? It's now a collectible and probably worth 10 times, or more for that today

Even the video was cool. Did you record that in Florida?

Thanks for sharing

Randy, that was super nice! I could listen to your sax work all day long.

Russ - thanks so much! For such kind words coming from you I am most honored! On the tone, I usually tell budding sax players that getting a sound out is the easy part but getting a good consistent tone is the bigger challenge on the sax.

Larry - thanks for the listen - the Selmers made in the 50's and 60's are definitely worth some hefty $$$$ today. That's one reason I rarely take it out - hardly ever on gigs. I will be doing another CD soon and will use the high-end horns on that project. I recorded the video here in FL - love using my video editor, which is Magix Movie Edit Pro. Lots of fun and opportunities to experiment.

Scott - thanks buddy! Hopefully some day soon we will run into each other at a gig in Pensacola.... stay safe over there and thanks for the listen and the kind words!

I absolutely love your playing Randy! Keep em’ coming!

That was tremendous randy . Really enjoyed that . I am now nearly three months in with my new alto sax and having a blast !

Thanks Montuno and Spalding! Glad you guys enjoyed the listen!

Spalding, I salute you and "Welcome to the sax players' club!"! It is a cool instrument and a joy to play. The more you play the more you enjoy it! Have fun and keep us posted! Sounds like you have a horn that is keeping you moving forward so congrats on that! I am sure by now you have checked out "Better Sax" on YouTube and found that he offers an amazing wealth of content and help to us all!
