Hi Johnny I was trying to get the embellished sheet music for White Christmas but I kept getting 404 error message. I got the easy version so I was hoping to get the newer version if you have it in sheet form.

Is there a different method to fluttering tongue or growl? I am one of those guys that can not roll my Rs. I have been able to get a reasonable dirty sound but have been frustrated over the years not being able to get a good growl on most of my notes. G and G# have been the only notes I have been able to get a decent growl.

Yes thanks Johnny I also heard it was an alto. Ther has been lots of questions regarding this riff over the years regrading it being a tenor , alto , nose flute. Thanks for clearing it up. I will now switch to Alto on my gigs.

Johnny can you tell me if this a true fact.
“As far as I know, the sax that Steve Gregory played on this song was a Selmer Mark VI tenor, but I don’t know which mouthpiece or reed he used. As that instrument didn’t have a top F# key, the engineer turned down the tape speed so that Steve could play the sax line a semitone lower.”

I have some solos that involve F# to A (Shaky Ground) and I find it awkward using the fingering I have is there a smooth transition you can suggest.
