Poetry Night at The Hub in New Smyrna Beach

It’s always a great evening at The Hub in New Smyrna, and this was no exception. The evening was filled with poetry and music. Given the date of this particular event, it seemed appropriate to start the evening with a stirring arrangement of Danny Boy.  

Turn the Page

Bob Seger song from 1973. The very distinguishable sax parts were written by Bob Seger’s sax player–Alto Reed. True story 😉

Dream Weaver

A Gary Wright classic from 1975. Title song from ‘The Dream Weaver’ album 😉

Still Loving You

Feeling like a little Scorpions on a Saturday afternoon 😉 This is from their Love At First Sting album (1984)

You Are So Beautiful

Classic song from Joe Cocker’s 1974 album, I Can Stand a Little Rain. Trying a new black bamboo reed 😉

Havana

Great Latin pop tune from Camila Cabello (2018). Havana, ooh na-na (ay) Half of my heart is in Havana, ooh-na-na (ay, ay)  

November Rain

Classic rock ballad written by Axl Rose and recorded by Guns N’ Roses in 1991  

Hard Candy Christmas

Written by Carol Hall and performed by Dolly Parton (1982). Tried to get this arrangement as close to the original as possible. From the musical ‘Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.’
