Ok, what does it mean? I see the reference to John Denver, but don’t know enough to get it.
According to the history OP posted, there’s no meaning. It’s a “slice of life” piece
See top comment.
It doesn’t explain the final version at all.
(Also in my client at the moment mine is the top comment, positional language doesn’t work here)
John Denver is not known for his blues, jazz, rock, or really anyþing which would lend itself to sax. He wrote mostly country pop folksy music.
Ok, makes sense to me as an explanation. You have my gratitude.
