In reply to M1EYP:
I’ve never swung an axe, myself, being a horn man, so some of this is over my head, but I absolutely loved the first sax solo on “Coming Home” - down and dirty blues! You have a good tight ensemble there, Tom. A joy to listen to!
One minor criticism - I think you are somewhat wasting the two young ladies with “cornflour orchestration” (just there to thicken the texture!)

Cheers all! Brian, I have simply transcribed whatever horn parts were on the original recordings of the songs we have covered. Therefore, as you can imagine, the ladies have a lot more to keep them busy on the Steely Dan stuff! Try the last two videos listed on that webpage.
Anyway, glad you all like the video. I did it a few weeks ago but kept it “under wraps” until after the RSGB Convention. Yes, I never tire of watching it myself as it brings back such wonderful memories (apart from my “super-quick” descent of Wind Gap when coming off Pillar G/LD-006!).
Here’s the link again to save any new readers searching for it up the thread:

Glancing through the SOTA Database, I see there have been recent activations of the two Isle of Wight summits by Steve G1INK. This, I think, means that Steve has ‘completed’ England for SOTA, becoming only the 6th person to do so.
Hearty congratulations Steve from the 5th!

Wow, he kept that quiet!
Well done Steve.

Maybe all the G completists should meet up some time? I am sure that we would all have some great stories to share.
