For Robert (5) 250kb download
This one was written for a good friend, Robert Whittle who used to record rehearsals for us. He always marveled
that the band could sight-read a new piece straight off. When he died of a brain haemorrhage, I wrote this tune to be played at a memorial
gathering for him. To give Robert a smile up in heaven, the band had to sight-read it. There are only 2 choruses with no solos.
