    Hey! I enjoyed it! I'm unfamiliar with the song, so I can't compare it to other renditions, though... Also, the the sound and picture were slightly off, so the sound came out slightly late, which is disconcerting, until you get used to it. I enjoyed the piece, the tone, and the opportunity to put a face to an identity! What kind of saxophone is it that you were playing? Only one critique from me. The ending was too abrupt, like you were walking away to stop the camera even before you were finished playing. (Part of that may have been the sound/video synchronization mentioned earlier...) but it would be somewhat better if you paused--for just a moment-- on finishing, before moving from the microphone (or performance spot). It would let us enjoy the music without the distracting movement so soon upon finish. Thanks again!
