about
Since I first heard this piece when I was 15 years old, I had wanted to play the clarinet solo...My friend & I made an arrangement for piano/guitar, & I even auditioned to play it with an orchestra in college, but still never got to perform it live.
When I finally set out to do it, I struggled with which guitar should play the lead (I didn't own "Blue" at the time). It didn't take long for me to decide "MORE IS MORE!"& arrange the entire orchestration for guitars & bass.
This was a massive labor of love, & an absolute bucket list item. Please enjoy listening to, watching, & maybe even learning one of my favorite pieces of instrumental music!
