Chorus 4 Blues in a Dream. This chorus starts out with a light wistful feeling on the eighth hole draw and ends up with a warble lick that swells in intensity as it leads into the break on the next chorus.
Put some feeling into it!

Hi Jerry,
Some interesting new challenges for me in this chorus. First, on the opening 8 hole draw, sometimes it sounds like you're catching some of the 8-4 octave. Am I imagining that?
On the warbles, tongue block all of that including the 4-5 draw?
Any tips on getting the hang of bending that 3-4 warble while tongueing? The way you hit that 3 hole bend there is so sweet. Actually as I'm doing this I'm realizing that the eee-ooo-ohhhh technique you taught in the master class helps when tongueing also. Maybe I just have to do this about a million more times.
After the warbles, is that pretty much tongue blocking all the way out. Do you lip purse the 2, 3 and 4 draws leading into the final three octaves?
Last thing for now. It took a while to get the timing all through this piece. Is there or will there be a backing track for this one?
A gazillion thanks. I love this piece.
Bill
