I loved it so much! Thank you! Can you share the backing track you were using?

[@briancoates7662]

Hi Mark, I've taken up the alto sax a bit late in life (I'm in my 70s). Came across you on You Tube and started learning this song a couple of weeks ago. I've got it now, just a minor 'crossing the bridge' issue to overcome but lockdown is working well for me and I have lots of spare time to devote to my practice. I like your teaching style so I've ordered your book and looking forward to 'getting stuck in' when it arrives. Luv the Booker T too! Cheers.

[@Blowoutsax]

Thanks Brian..reach out if you need any help and am teaching online should you need one to one..enjoy playing the sax..M
