SOLO TO TRANSCRIBE - Transcribe it!
Tony is challenging me to do a 3 tune mini concert every week for the next few weeks. This week I am working on Upper Manhattan Medical Group, Alice in Wonderland, and All of You.

I tend to shy away from the very top register of the instrument but I think it would be beneficial for me to start using it more.
