Hello Folks As I`ve read somebody was searching for Beatles stuff so I seem to be in the right place to ask for one more ``Immortal sin``(that`s how one of my Session granddaddys would have callde it) : Caused by my whistle practise season and the Idea of a new music program I want to create with a ...

I could do both ways ,the only problem that i think about is I´m a lefty and I play w...

Yeah Susato could be the right one to ask for an alto recorder ,will check their page soon. Kenny ,nice D version of the aires ,but D is maybe the only version I don´t want to use of this tune. I´ve written/arranged a few versions of this tune and even ´´wrote´´the original version after listening t...
